I have the engine and drive train on the bench and want to confirm it is not seized up. If I remove the spark plugs, how can I turn it over without using the starter? |

If you have a couple pieces of pipe, rebar, etc: Put two of the old CV joint bolts (ones you will throw out) into both hubs on the trans. Put the trans in 5th. Put one piece of pipe in one side of the trans so it jams against the workbench.
Turn the opposite side with another piece of pipe and this will turn the engine. |
