1993 Chevy Lumina 6 cyl Automatic

I need to replace my back three spark plugs and found out I would have to rotate the motor to do this. What's the easiest way of doing this?

well theres actually a tool to do this, they are kinda hard to find but you can get them on ebay(where I got mine) and once you hook it up, you'll be cranking your engine foward with a ratchet,cool huh. anyway, I've also done it with a ratcheting strap, but you need to be carefull if you have anything in the way that you can damage. You just put your vehicle in neutral, of course put something infront of the tires so that they dont roll and you remove the dogbone mounts and in place of one you put your strap or the tool. and start ratcheting until you have enough room to get to the plugs
