Turning the motor?
Whats the best way to turn or bump the motor. Im pulling an engine and everythign is all reayd disconnected so I cant bump it with the starter. I need to bump it so I can get to the bolts that connect the flexplate to the converter. I tried turning the bolt on the crank but it just digs into the washer behind it. The heads are off so I dont know why this thing wont budge??

Pry on the starter ring teeth of the flexplate with a large screwdriver.
If it doesn't turn, it's either a tight engine, or seized.
