The screw would have to be about 1/4 inch to be broad enough to be a blunt force, rather then a sharp force to not harm the motor casing, as well as a fine machine thread. It should be short enough to have the head bottom out, before bottoming out the motor's suspension, also to not stress the motor housing. A black cylindrical/ knurled hex head Allen screw would be best suited.

As a modification, I would suggest drilling and tapping a small hole about 1 inch down from the center line of the hand wheel opening, then adding a screw, that when backed off, it will be a normal running machine, but when screwed in, it will effectively push the motor in and away from the hand wheel, thus parking the friction wheel away from the hand wheel.
