Put an upper bellhousing bolt back in the block till it bottom's then get an helper to bridge off of this and into the ring gear teeth with a long pry bar or similar, if you get the angle of the pry bar correct it will force itself firmer into the teeth which is what your after.

Locking tools exist that bolt in place of the starter motor, simply a bit of chopped up angle iron that engages on the ring gear and bolts on the starter bolts.

An impact wrench is much easier though, and like the crank pulley, alt pulley, wheel hubs you only need to hand hold the bits.
