There has to be

I looked all over the thing the best I could while under the truck not up in the air. ??????? where????????? is it???????

That's the first place I went since it showed it in the repair manual. I must be blind then. It says to use the square end of a 3/8" drive extension.

Scratch around there with a pick or screwdriver to uncover it from the mud and muck that it may have picked up while off road. Good luck!
