Answer 1

i know you don't wanna hear this...
but you've gotta pull the motor...

Answer 2

It looks impossible, but if you are able to work by feel, without actually seeing the rear plugs, the job can be done in about 45 minutes without removing anything. It becomes MUCH easier if you have a 5/8" x 6" magnetic swivel spark plug socket and another 3" extension. You'll find it easier to add the 3" (where needed) and ratchet once the socket + 6" is on the plug.

Answer 3

On many automobiles this is effectual to apply a actual spark plug socket, one that has a hex head on the top that the ratchet or extension is going in. you will possibly be waiting to get the socket on the plug and use a wrench on it to break it loose. i've got performed this on my '00 Blazer and my spouse's '01 blazer. wish this helps.
