Default Easiest way to find flywheel stud

Hey guys, I've got a pretty straight forward question here. I need to know of any tricks of tips for finding the flywheel stud by yourself. I know I can either turn the car by hand and then look in the BH hole, or turn it over inside the car and look in the BH hole...but there has to be an easier way!

Background: My car runs, but above 3000rpm it bucks a little. I've replaced the sensor with a new one, but I still have the problem. I believe it's just gaping the flywheel stud...but I have to find it first.

You can see the flywheel stud from under the car, after you remove the sheetmetal flywheel shield.

what makes you think the ref sensor is causing this? I guess it "could" be but unless youve moved the sensor braket lately i doubt it. Maybe plugs, wires, cap rotor, fuel regulator or pump, DME relay etc.... I would check the plugs and see how they are burning. Ive had bad wires that would start arcing out above 4k before as well.
