Get a breaker bar and a socket on the harmonic balancer bolt and then just turn it.

Why ?

it is a pain ( impossible ?) to "bar" a 6.o unless you have the shroud off

but to Bar a motor over you put a breaker bar and socket on the center bolt in the crank pulley and turn the motor over with it


for certain things i just bump the starter but if it's checking for valve train resistance you are going to need to access the crank

some vehicles you can access the flywheel starter gear and put a special tool ( cheap) on the flywheel to turn the motor over but the 6.0 Auto has a full encompassing bell housing so that won't work


EDIT the personal cost to my lengthy post is Sbluke slides in here and satisfactorily answered the question in a simple few words :surprise:
