Balance shaft counter holder?

[NJDevils95]

Is there a special tool that a Honda tech (or any mechanic) would use instead of Channel Locks to stop the rotation of the balance shaft gear while loosening the bolt?

IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION,THERE IS A 12 MM. SEAL BOLT BEHIND THE REAR BALANCER GEAR THAT YOU REMOVE AND THERE’S A HOLE IN THE SHAFT THAT LOCKS THE SHAFT IN POSITION FOR INSTALLING THE BELT. ON OLD PAPER I HAVE ,IT IS WRITEN “BALANCE SHAFT LOCK PIN 07LAG-PT20100. HOPE IT HELPS. P.S. I USED A OLD HARDED BOLT THE SAME HAS THE DIAMETER OF THE HOLE IN THE SHAFT

Thank you very much for the reply, Garys10! Looking at my original post, I did not include enough detail and was specific enough. I am actually referring to a 2.3L on a 2002 Accord. The balance shaft I was referring to was actually the front balance shaft. Is the procedure for keeping it from rotating the same as the rear balance shaft?
