Change all of then through the wheel well, there is a rubber cover that can be flipped up to access all the spark plugs with the spark plug socket and extension.
Note the #3 spark plug on the drivers side, your going to need a spark plug socket with a swivel built in with it to take the spark plug out. The shock tower mount get's in the way and you can only loosen the plug and then your going to have to use your fingers to remove an replace it, then use the socket and extension to tighten it again.
Don't forget to use anti-seize on the new spark plugs for an easier service the next time you replace the plugs.
Good luck and you should not have to raise the s10 up. Thanks for using Fixya

They can be more accessible if you jack it up and remove the front wheels.You should be able to see them better.You will need a swivel spark plug socket to remove the number 3 plug on the drivers side.This is the second one on the left.Hope this helps.Good luck.
