Grease on the rail under the driver you need to move, chock the others, and push on the counterweight or crank pin with a hydraulic jack to turn the wheel until things line up. Depending on how much you need to rotate the driver it can require repositioning the engine and resetting the jacks several times. Once you get the crank pins lined up on one side the the other side will sometimes need a few minor adjustments as well.
