I was wondering if i could get a little help in locating the block plug that needs to be removed to check the rear balancer shaft for proper timing? I can not get a good idea of its location from ether my chilton book or alldata that is at my shop. I have had it on the lifts at the shop looking for it a couple times with no luck. It is hard to see with the a/c compressor and the transfer case in the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
If you got all the a/c stuff on there, the easiest way to access it is either thru the driverside wheel well, or crawl under the car and take a look. Its more on the driver side of the engine block. You'll need a 14mm socket to take it off. Its right next to the bracket that holds the axle intermediate shaft to the engine block. cant miss it.
