Rick, see my post #106, above. To take out the drivetrain lash, put the trans into 5th or 6th gear and turn the driven wheel backwards until the engine starts to turn. Then locking the rear wheel using the brake will lock the engine. the correct hole to lock the engine is a bit higher and further in, in front of the airbox. See posts 100 and 104, above.
@ signit98: mine is definitely a hex (v Torx) head. Stock replacements are also hex heads.
