You can turn the engine over with a breaker bar or more dangerously, using
the starter to 'bump' it over....the trick is to keep it from actually
starting..
I use method 2 but I'm not so bright anyway <g>

Howard,
I thought the instructions said to bump the starter, I took that to mean with the ignition switch. If it meant to power the start
solenoid on the starter that's different/
