I've had my balancer off and on a zillion times and do all my work myself. You can use the tool with the handle braced against the ground. Not a biggie. The car obviously has to be on jackstands.

I used a homemade holding tool since the dual mass LT4 flywheel had too much 'give'. I used a U clamp bracket that holds two entertainment center pieces together (slid over ends at top). I bolted a piece of square tube aluminum to it at 90 degrees and then placed it against the teeth and used a block of wood jammed into the opening to force it against the FW. Worked like a charm. I had no extra pair of hands since people seem to scatter when I work in my garage.

To loose or to tight, I use an allen wrench against the crossmember. 
Only once I left there and started the car. The starter broke the allen wrench in half without breaking a sweat.
