Default spark plug replace - '98 Blazer S10 - 4.3 L V6

Anyone have good suggestions about how to get to all the plugs, especially the driver's side plugs, which are mostly blocked by steering, etc.???

The #3 plug is the worst. I was able to get a normal deep socket with my wobble extension on to get the plug loose, then just used my hands on the socket to remove it. The others on that side were easy... As with the rest of them, the easiest way to get to them all is through the wheelwell.

You should also get a piece of fuel line to fit on the end of the plug. This will make it easier to start the plugs with out cross threading...

Drivers side go through the fender. Take the tire off. And Swarts tip for #3.
Passengers side can be gotten from the engine compartment.
