Default camshaft sprocket bolt

Hi

What is the best method of holding the camshaft still in a 89 Mk2
while removing its sprocket bolt. My car manual only says "Devise a
method to prevent the camshaft turning and remove the sprocket bolt"
which is not a lot of use. I was thinking of jamming a spanner through
one of spokes in the sprocket but this may damage it.

Any help would be appreciated.

That's pretty much what Haynes suggests! It works.
