    2014 access can v6 4x4 sr5.

    I drained the radiator plug and can't find the engine block plug. I'm doing a radiator flush and refill.

    1. Is it forward or behind the center point of the wheel?

    2. Is it above or below the high point of the tire?

    3. Any pics?

    There are 2 on the engine block, driver's side is below the header, in front of the starter; and passenger's side below the header behind the engine mount. They are brass-looking 10mm with a small nipple next to it.
