Steve:
Look on the transmission tunnel interface with the engine and you'll see
sheet metal cover plates, which when removed will give you access to the
flywheel.
Alternatively , remove the starter.
Another approach is (though possibly more work) I would attempt to turn
the engine with a torque wrench set at or below the yield point of the bolt
attached to the crankshaft pully
( the torque spec for this is 40 lb-ft + 60Deg) so you are likely safe at 40
lb-ft.
This of course done after you have done the generous soaking in oil. I
always found it difficult to get at the crankshaft pully bolt without
removing the radiator (due to the length of the socket + ratchet + extension
and the depth of the bolt within the pully) and if you can get the bottom
mounting bolts to release. Not removing it increases the risk of damaging
the radiator which is quite fragile but it can be done if you have eyeballs
on the end of your fingers and remove the fan shroud (if it still has one)
Hope this helps
Dan
