If you want to prevent the crank from turning, for example to undo the crank bolt, then you can either get a special tool (see picture), or undo the dust protection plate for the clutch and either jam a sturdy screwdriver or something else against the teeth on the flywheel to keep it in place.

 

 

But that bolt is often super tight (>200NM torque), so beware when you go for the flywheel route!
