1991 Nissan Maxima - what size socket to turn crankshaft?

[Sick Puppy]

HI everyone, not a toyota, but I figured someone here will know

Inlaws have a maxima with an engine that has apparently seized. Question is whether it is the starter that is seized, or the engine.

I'm about to jack it up, remove the under arch cover and try to turn the engine, so if anyone can tell me what size socket it is, it will make my life a lot easier.

It is a 1991 Nissan Maxima with a 24valve 3L V6, I think the chassis code is either PJ30 or J30. Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks for that Sergei!

I wish the comedy of errors my attempt at jacking up the car went as well - frickin' long grass! Oh well, despite driving only jappers, all they seemed to have were imperial and whitworth you, sets were that old...

Careful turning it, you'll probably break the snout of the crank off
