Break the POS off

Broke off the top, then a 5/8 socket fits perfectly in there to remove the old one.

:hahaha:

You do realize that if you squat down by your LF tire, you can SEE the plug and have great access from right there through the fender, just link a couple ratchet extentions together and away you go.

Exactly what I did. This seams to be the best option. Plus the Blazer looks good!

Really? I thought I had to go under the truck reach my arm up over the cradle and though the cobwebs to take it out.

if you have to break the top off the plug to get it out, it makes me wonder how you plan on getting a whole new one in

just got to autozone they sell a 5/8 socket with built in swivel and it is the perfect length for the #3 plug. and it only $5.99 its perfect and it wont put any stress on the sparkplug. there is already a thread talking about this too.
