I finally got the time to work on my TR6 and having a hell of a time trying to
figure out how to turn the engine to set the valve clearances.  I have removed
the spark plugs to reduce compression, but trying to yank on the fan blades will
just break the fan.

Sorry for being an idiot on this, but this is the first time I have really tried
to work on an engine and am a little clueless.  The Haynes manual gives the
order and says to turn the engine, but doesn't say how.  Any ideas on how to
accomplish this seemingly routine task?

Thanks for all help.
