How are you turning the flywheel? You're referring to the big metal plate between the engine and transmission, right? Not the vibration damper on the front of the engine?
I would remove the belt, then see which pulleys can be turned by hand. The alternator, power steering, AC compressor, idler, and tensioner pulleys should spin very freely. The vibration damper / crankshaft pulley at the bottom should not turn at all unless you're strong enough to turn the whole crankshaft!
