Default Spark Plug Help

Can anyone out there tell me how to change the middle spark plug on the driver side of an 01 Blazer? The steering shaft is in the way and I can't get a ratchet or even a wrench on the back of the socket to get it loose. If anyone knows how or has a link to a how to please let me know.

I finally did this last week the dreaded spark plug. I used the 5/8 universal joint socket from autozone think I paid six bucks and well worth it. Thanks to many of the helpful forums.
