Default Center Plug on drivers side

I just baught a 96 Blazer and decided to do a tune up on it. The only one I couldn't get to was the center plug on the drivers side. The plug is directly behind what I think is called the stearing shaft. Does anyone know how to replace that plug and what tools I am going to need Thanks

Oh, boy. There are a lot of threads and discussions on techniques for this plug. Do a 'search' for '#3 spark plug' and see what you find.

I can tell ya what i used to get mine out maybe this will help you.. I used the reg spark plug socket, went out and bought a swivel ratcheting box end wrench, it went right around the back of the steering shaft and wala it took sumtime to do it but it got done ... good Luck with it.. O i paid 14 $ for the wrench.. I`ll own it forever...
