Nice thing about using the ratchet nut wrench is if you go past the dimple you can turn the motor in reverse direction a little ways, then turn in normal direcion to try to find the dimple again.

That's pretty much how i do it except if i miss the dimple by a bit, I just put the car in gear and push it back to bump the motor back a bit, then "gently" turn the crank to locate the dimple without blowing past it again.
