This may sound stupid, but how do I tighten the top dome nut on top of the flywheel, when the flywheel and crankshaft keep turning?

As long as the thread is clean and not all beaten up, I just hold the flywheel put a ring spanner on the nut and give the spanner a tap with a hammer to nip it just a little.
In the book of words Chapter 5 page 65 #4
"install dome nut and tighten with wrench.
After dome nut has been tightened snugly, strike the wrench smarty with a hammer and set the nut securely."
