HAHAHAH, special Jag tool,YEP, you, a socket, lots of swear words.
You will need alcohol of course, for YOU, not the engine.
Find a socket to fit that hex nut thingy on the bottom pulley, which is the front end of the crankshaft, and then a breaker bar to fit the socket, and rotate CLOCKWISE ONLY as view looking at the FRONT of the engine.
Unless its going to sit for years, dont bother too much. I went to the MK X yesterday, and its been 3 years, and fresh fuel, intravenously fed to the 3 carbies, charged battery, turned the key, pushed the button, and away it went, FAITH, ya gotta have FAITH.
I removed the sparkers, and reapplied oil to each cylinder, and went home.
