Hit the post button by mistake, will try again!
I did it with the palm of my hand on the tread part of the tire and gave it a good yank. Being careful that my hand didn't disappear between the tire and the hugger! With the front I had the forks supported on a paddock stand so it was nice and firm and did the same.
I was a bit surprised how free the front was (3 1/2 revs) because when I fitted new pads a while back I could only manage about two revolutions.
Congratulations Buzz on the pass.

I mostly ask because there is no way I will get my rear to go two and a half turns using the palm of my hand
