Crank sprocket issue... Please help
Cross post for more exposure...
Hi all, I am in the middle of tackling several projects, one of which is the timing chain and cam/crank sprokets. No issues getting to the point of removing the crank sproket. When I went to remove it, however, my sproket puller struggled and torqued the crankshaft clockwise a few degrees. I marked the relative position of the timing arrows to the block (before attempting to pull the sproket) in case this happened, but now can't figure out how to rotate it back the few degrees. Any ideas? My father in law noted the flat sides of the crankshaft, is there a tool that would allow a socket / breaker bar to manipulate the crankshaft? Any help or guidance, or even humor at my situation would be greatly appreciated.

my first thought is to just Re time the engine. Possible?
