i might do the chain n tensioner myself. How do i manually crank the engine around and without taking everything down?

i read hoggers thread. but he took everything down

i have the tensioner, chain, valve gasket set. anything else?

 

You can turn the bolt on the front of the crank clockwise. I think its a 19mm? Takes some effort.

 

1/2" drive ratchet....it's surprisingly easy once the plugs are out.

 

I didn't take anything down that I could see. What's missing? I'll try and replace it.
