The easiest way is to take out the spark plugs and just use the starter
motor. Without any compession in the cylinders there shouldn't be too much
strain on the bearings.

Not the best way but easier.

PS - Be forewarned that your 3/8 drill could start smoking once the oil pump
is primed as it takes a lot of power to spin the oil pump and build up oil
pressure. Happened to me.

I disassembled an old dizzy and used the shaft w/dizzy gear and connected it
to my drill to spin the pump. You need to remove the tach gear too. This
proved the easiest way to do it IMHO.
