Spark plug removal for 1996 Chevy S-10 Pick-up

It take's about 10 min to remove and replace that plug, You need a spark plug socket with a built in swivel and extension. All the plugs should be removed from going through the wheel well by just moving the slash guard out of the way. With the number #3 plug, (drivers side center) Your going to have to use the swivel socket to break loose the spark plug then remove by hand, there is not enough room for the socket and plug to be removed so it needs to be removed by hand and installed by hand too. Once the new plug is installed you can torque it by working the socket back on and then the extension. Good luck and hope this helps, all the other plug can be replaced through the wheel wel; without removing any other thing un less your a larger person and would like to remove the wheel for more room or just by jacking the S10 up but the front frame. Keep me posted and careful not to break a plug. 

Just guessing but alot of deep spark plug sockets have a wrench fitting on the end so you can turn it with a wrench instead of using a ratchet. Second option.... ok this is a McGiver thing but if all you have is a regular deep socket maybe you can get a pair of visegrips around the socket and undo the the plug,That may give you enough room to get your hands in there.

the best solution if you tried to use the reguler spark plug socket and the swievel extension, the only one difference. is do you need the 2 ft long extension between the fender and the tire use the ratched outside the truck , y hope do you understand mi advice good luck .is no matter if you use the 3/8 or 1/2 drive

i changed mine buy dropping he steering column from the gear box then was simple to change takes an extra 10 min i tried all sizes of sparkplug sockets ans swivles didnt work so i dropped the column

take the cover off the intermediate shaft under air cleaner box. air cleaner just remover the 10mm by the fuse block and then unscrew the air intake hoses and lift up. take the cover off shaft by gear box. use an 11mm and take the bolt out. pry shaft back with screw driver. and then you should be able to lift it up and get right to it
