changing spark plugs

Does anyone have a tip on changing the plugs that are up by the firewall? You know, the ones that are hard to get to? This is for a '95 s-10 blazer with a vortec engine (v-6)

RE: changing spark plugs

Thanks alot 2002xtreme,

I'll try this as soon as the rain stops. By the way, would you recommend platinum plugs?

RE: changing spark plugs

Factory plugs were AC Delco double platinums. Probably the best plug for this engine.

And yeah, go through the wheel wells.

RE: changing spark plugs

On my 98 2dr 4x4 it was easiest on the 5th plug ,I think, to disesemble the steering column and have the wheel removed as well

RE: changing spark plugs

That would be the 3rd plug. The 3rd plug should be tried in quite a few different ways first before going through the removal of the steering column.

RE: changing spark plugs

I have never seen that tool before, but yes there are many threads about the dreaded #3 plug.

I bent a cheap box end wrench to about 30 degrees and was able to change the plug with it.
