Does anyone know what size socket is needed for turning the engine over by hand using the crank pulley?
Thanks.
EDIT: This is for an F7P engine btw. |

thanks dan. I just wanted to check that it wasn't a size I didn't have but 19mm would be fine.
It's just with trying to fit the new clutch with the gearbox in the engine bay I can't get to the bottom bolts on the clutch to torque them up, so I'm just gonna turn the engine by hand so that they come round to the top where I can reach them OK. |

just turn the engine by the clutch cover!
if your a big fairy then take the pluigs out to make it easier.
But yeah should be 19mm |
