It's a challenge! See http://tegger.com/hondafaq/cranktool/index.html for
hints. While you are there, see the part about how to get the new belt on
right. It can save you some aggravation.

You didn't use the starter to turn the engine for lining things up without
loading the ignition coil, I hope. If the engine is cranked with the
distributor cap off or the plug wires off it can mean curtains for the
ignition coil.
