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)

 

go thru the wheel wells.... Jack it up take off the wheels...

 

Thanks alot 2002xtreme,

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

 

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

And yeah, go through the wheel wells.

 

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

 

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.

 

for the # 3 plug use the SNAP-ON tool #s9723

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.
