Turning AQ260 by hand?? No nut!!

[arfaname]

Hi All,

As many tasks when working on an engine require me to turn it over by hand I would normally just use the bolt in the front of the crank . On my Volvo AQ260 (350 chev) I have th eraw water pump assembly installed directly to the end of the crank shaft. I can not for the life of me find a way to turn it over by hand. I want to be able to accuratly stop it turning for things like timing marks, TDC and checking drive ratio.

Do you fellas have any ideas on what I can grab onto to turn it over. Punching the starter is just not accurate enough..


Thanks

Sean

Ayuh,... remove the sparkplugs, Tighten the belts, then use the alternator bolt...

Thanks Bond-o. I have tried swinging off the alternator bolt however I did still have plugs in and the belt was only at normal running tension.

I'll give it a shot.
