I always adjust the timing by: having the pump in the full retard position (top of pump as far away from the head as possible) This leaves more room for injector or glow plug service. I loosen the rear cam sprocket and adjust timing by rotating it. (counterclockwise looking at the pulley)
Adjusting the timing by rotating the pulley is much easier then trying to rotate the pump. I always paint the notch on the pulleys white to easily see TDC on #1.
