Default Rotating the crank
I'm trying to manually turn the crank & the electronic steering rack is in the way for a socket on the harmonic bolt. Anyone have a quick & dirty on turning the crank manually?

I doubt a crows foot would work, but maybe a strap wrench around the harmonic damper might...

Thanks,
Wormwood

Yes, I have the plugs out & I'm cleaning the intake valves by hand so I'm needing to rotate to get the intake valve closed..

A large screwdriver. Pry against the flywheel teeth easily turns over the engine.
