Message First, pull *ALL* the plugs. Not just the one you think is a problem. (or know is a problem)

You need a 27mm socket.

Turn the crank by using that 27mm socket on the main crank pulley. This would be between the radiator, and the belts. The pulley drives those belts. It is held in to place with a 27mm bolt.

Turn the crank clock wise only please. Don't rotate it backwards. (You CAN but you shouldn't)

Turn it a little bit at a time, and see if you've got gasoline in any of the cylinders. If you have a lot, it will push up out of the hole. But even if you just have a little, you will be seeing it on top of the piston. Use a flashlight or something to aid the view down the plug hole into the combustion chamber.

Hope that helps.
