I have never had to use a barring tool for any clutch adjustment. Just bump it over with the starter. Once you get it close, fine tune with a pry bar thru the inspection hole.

Pro tip- during any clutch replacement. Put the adjuster at the bottom. The engine is at a natural resting place when it was shut off. One in three shot it stops in front of the opening during service/ adjustment.

Never thought of that. Good idea.

I found after getting under the truck there was a small access hole below the ring gear.
