Piece of fuel line works good also, may be just a bit easier to feed through the spark plug hole.

Pick up a piston stop. Can get one for less than $10 from Acceleration karting or others rather than taking a chance of putting something in your cylinder that may break off, melt or leave debris.
One of those little tools to have in your tool box. |

Ideally you don't want to use any kind of piston stop. The best way is to use the proper tool to hold the clutch or the rotor so the resistance to turning is directly at the point where the torque will be applied. Every clutch manufacturer makes a specific wrench to hold the clutch hub and there is also a tool to hold the rotor on the ignition side.
Horstman has a whole bunch of different clutch wrenches for the different models and L&T has a special tool as well.
If you don't have the correct tool use a pnuematic tool to remove and just let compression be the resistance to the turning of the crank.... works 99% of the time.

Your correct Steve, I don't disagree.

You have to take the clutch cover off then use a clutch wrench and a clutch puller for your particular clutch because, after you get the nut off it's still locked on the shaft taper.

I removed a Hortsman wet clutch.
After locking the piston with rope. The nut came loose easily. Then I used a 3 jaw puller to slide the complete clutch assy off the crank snout. |
