Help Question about CWM Install FAQ

I have an LG Optimus Elite on Sprint/Ting, and I'm trying to get the Clockworkmod recovery on it, and then to install a thirdparty rom on it. The phone shows its currently on the stock rom build ZVF.GWK74, which appears to meet the requirements
shown on http://androidforums.com/elite-all-things-root/620742-faq-guide-clockworkmod-optimus-elite.html. The phone is rooted, has busybox installed. I am following the "Method #2" on the above guide, and all falls right into place up to the point where you are
instructed in "5. Type dd if=/sdcard/part_13_cwm_9_22_17_32.bin of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14 and tap the [Enter] key".. Problem with that is this phone does not seem to have a /dev/block/mmcblk0p14.. Doing a "mount" from "adb shell" doesn't show any partition with that identifier.. Unless this partition is hidden from the mount command.. I've done this procedure on my old LG Optimus V a couple of years ago and its
CWM instructions left NO question about the recovery partition..

Just wanna be SURE to avoid bricking the phone...
