CKP sensor replacement

trying to replace the CKP sensor in 1999 Quest. Supposedly there is a heat shield that every illustration says is easy to remove. I cannot get to this thing at all. I've been over the car, under the car...no luck whatsoever. All of the directions make this sound like a simple process but I got nowhere this weekend. Any help would be greatly appreciated. (or if you have a photo of the area where this thing goes, all the more better). The photos in the Quest manual once again make it appear as though its right by the hose on the R side of the engine...but it's not.
