6.0 L engine rotating tool question

I am from the 97>88 and 73<79 and was wondering for some friends of mine about how to rotate these 6.0L engines while trying to line up torque converter bolts and such. Is there a barring tool or rotating tool for these?

Use the harmonic balancer bolt. 18mm I believe, can't remember for sure.

Metal bar with 2 bolts in it that will grab the balancer

I have an actual old FORD wrench, like a pipe wrench with out teeth the jawa are flat.
Open it just enough to fit the outside of the balencer and inside the balancer **** it a little then turn to the left. Works good.
