To fit the toothed ring on the flywheel you need to heat it up... I think it is unlikely that it is slipping but then you never know.

Paint some witness marks on the ring and the fly wheel to see if there is slippage. I'm guessing this will be necessary to put your mind at rest. Paint several marks so you can easily check - rather than spending ages trying to find that one bloody mark you made!

In case you haven't found it there is a little access plate right at the bottom of the engine that can be unscrewed from the bell house on the transmission.

If you need to turn the engine by hand turn it clockwise (when facing the engine) with a 27mm socket.

Then re-read junqueyardjim's response!
