I use the generator pulley on both the T-3 and the T-1. Jim A. says that
he uses 13/16" box ratchet. I use a 21mm open end on the T-3's. I use a
spark plug socket with a ratchet on a T-1. BTW, on either one, don't
forget to take the wrench off before you start the car.
Also, however you turn it over, don't forget to disable the ignition
while turning it. I have seen them start while being cranked by hand,
and a guy lost a finger.
