Torquing Crank Bolt for Balancer install

I'm wondering how everyone keeps the crankshaft from rotating when torquing the bolt. Is it unacceptable to put the car in gear and set the parking break (m6 car)? I really don't wanna mess with taking the starter off.

If you are impatient to get the tool, that will work. look at the torque the drivetrain takes, Your torque wrench is not gonna hurt anything.
