I'm paranoid about breaking bits off the impeller by running the engine, but pushing the car out, turning it and pushing it back on the garage is going to be a major chore with my driveway.
What would you do? Thanks in advance for your answers, funny and serious.
Take off the serpentine belt and drive the car to position it... it won’t overheat the car and discharge battery, but steering would be heavy!
