Crank socket on the end of the crank, after you pull off the crank damper. Or, one of those crow's-foot looking things that bolts to the damper with the crank pulley bolts, after you take the pulleys off.
DO NOT try to use the damper bolt itself.

k, iv got the actuall pulley off, but theres no bolt i can see, there is still something on it that was behind the crank pulley that is round and about the same size, do i need to take that off to get to the bolt?

You're probably looking at the damper. But, if you've removed the pulley, you've probably already removed the crank snout bolt. I.e. if you removed 4 bolts to remove the pulley, the bolt you are looking for isn't on the engine anymore.

The whole idea behind "do NOT use the bolt" was to have you avoid using a bolt to turn the engine.
Using either what Vader mentinoed (via the flywheel), or purchase one of these 2 tools:


The first is the crow-foot tool that attaches to the damper, the second attaches to the crankshaft snout itself (damper has to get removed for this).
