I bought the flywheel stopper from mazdatrix.
Propper blocking of the flywheel should be no problem.

I will try the hot-air gun and tell you the results.

The front bolt is more of a problem than the flywheel nut.  I used the
drilled angle iron on the fly wheel and a 1/2" drive socket with a pipe
cheater over a breaker bar and it finally let loose.  They must use a lot of
hylomar on the bolt.
