Never bothered to get my crankshafts machined to accept a bolt so I generally use the one hand on the belt-one hand on the fan method. However before I broke in my rings, and on days when I am feeling particularly lazy I just cheat and use a remote starter switch to jump the solenoid and bump it over. You may still have to do the last little bit by hand but saves you most of the grunt work! Also keep in mind you will be putting a lot of amps through your starter in rapid succession so if its on its last leg proceed with caution...
