Changing spark plugs on Nissan Frontier?????

Question

I changed all but #6, it's impossible to get to. I looked up Nissan site and there is a way to rig up a ratchet that is supposed to work, but didn't. Any suggestions, besides taking it to the dealership?

I already have spark plug sockets, I am talking about the WHERE the spark plug is located.

Answer 3

Why can't you get to it? I assume it's maybe a manifold or something? Some parts you can remove yourself if they're minor, but not an exhaust manifold. Have you tried hitting it from underneathe? I know a lot of newer cars with tighter compartments require some creative positioning when it comes to things like this. How about jacking the car up and going through a wheel well or something? Maybe even just turning the wheels and trying to reach in that way? (not sure how your engine is mounted in that though)

Grab a Hayne's Manual for your car. They're year and model specific and are only around $10-15. They detail all kinds of work and typically let you know when you need to use a trick or something. Lots of pics, very informative and generally something that should be a requirement when you buy a car.
