I pull no plugs, the engine will turn very easily and you turn it as if you were tightening the bolt. That bolt is torqued to around 90 to 100 ft/lbs so have no fear that you are over tightening it somehow. You aren't. The bolt that is in the end of your crank will either be a normal big bolt, or the newer ones actually have a 1/2" square hole in them that fit the the square on your ratchet wrench, or the end of a short extension, so you don't even use a socket. This is wayyyyy easier than bumping it with a remote starter.
