Use a breaker bar & socket on the bolt on the crankshaft damper bolt to turn the crank a little, shoot I'd just try to get it by bumping the starter but I've never wanted to know that bad. You are gonna have to put some a$$ into it to turn the crank as you're having to overcome the compression of the engine.
The coolant plug is just for that, draining the coolant out of the block. There is one on the passenger side also.
