Hey whats up guys/gals! I have a problem, I replaced all the plugs and wires on my 01 Blazer except one plug I cant remove. The #3 spark plug on the drivers side. I know someone here must of had this problem... Any solutions?
Thanks
Dave

 

Can you not remove it because it's stuck? Or because you can't get to it?

If it's stuck, I'd try some PB Blaster. When you put the new plugs in, put some anti seize gel on the threads to avoid sticking in the future.

 

Nah I cant get to it.. The steering shaft is in the way... I really dont wanna remove it... Thats why I'm wondering how everybody else did the tune up on thier 4.3....

 

I know the steering shaft is close to the plug but if you use a short spark plug socket and a ratchet or a wrench on the end of the S/P socket it will come loose and you can unscrew it the rest of the way with your hand. Dont' forget antiseeze when installing them back in. Good luck.

 

move the boot thats on it by the plug and there is a flat spot on the shaft, turn the wheel till the flat spot is at the top and you should be able to get it. It worked for my 97 4.3.

 

Due to bad weather here, I couldn't work on the truck.. So this weekend I'm going to try and move that boot... Hopefully that will work.
Thanks for the help

 

no prob hope it helps.

 

You'll need a swivel on your socket.
