Changing injection pump, how to turn crank?

[Mattguy]

I've looked everywhere and can't see how to turn the crank as the serpentine belt has a adapter that bolts on front of crank. Is it safe to bump the starter to move up bolt access? Or is there a special tool that you can move crank with?

Try the alternator pulley. I was trying to take it off and it started to spin everything

I've always used the starter to rotate the engine to get at the three bolts on the timing gear. The gear is trapped in there and can not jump a tooth just in case you were worried about that.

Should I disconnect glow plug box? I don't want to burn glo plugs.

I have the 200amp alternator, the pully spins without engaging the alternator. Just spins.

I have 200A also and it only spins free one direction

I feel like an idiot. Works perfect. Thank you.

6.5 NA engines have a lug on the back side of the harmonic damper that a 1 inch wrench fits perfect.

Looks like I'm pulling the harmonic damper today. Should it be replaced or if the rubber is fine, reuse?

If you are going for the trouble of removing it, you should replace it. In my humble opinion, understanding that I have don’t know your finances.
