Honestly my least favorite part is removing and re-installing the fan and clutch for easier turning of the crank bolt to turn the engine by hand.
I use a momentary switch, connected as in the pic. Comes in very handy to turn the engine over. Helps with adjusting valves, lining up the torque converter, etc.
