I have a 96 and a 97 S10 p/u and a 97 S10 Blazer all with the 4.3 eng. I changed all of the plugs through the wheel well after removing the front wheels. I use a spark plug socket (that swivels slightly) that comes attached to a long extension that allows the socket to swivel to get into those tight spots where a straight socket and extension won't work (ie, by the steering shaft). We read that you should use a plug socket with a hex-shaped end - so that you can get a wrench around the end (since there is not room for the regular ratchet). Good luck. Good luck is the right answer, that one is a bastard! Engineers for autos should have to work on these before designing them! to ch ange the spark plug you need to go through the opening in your wheelwell. I agree engineers should fix 'em first. I used a "crows foot" (looks like a wrench head with a hole in it for a 3/8" socket wrench in it bought it at menartds) be careful not to let the plug socket move side to side cause i cracked the porcelain on the plug removing it, all so use anti-sieze or electrial connection grease so that removal is easier.

What is the best way to pull the number 3 plug and a Blazer 4.3 Its behind the steering column- 1999?
I have 2001 Chevrolet Blazer and had the same problem.What I did was bought a 5/8 sparkplug swivel socket the swivel and socket are built together and a couple extensions. Then I took the jack to the Blazer, raised the body up a little and went in under the fender put the swivel socket on and screwed it out. It is still a bit tricky but it works. Hope I helped you out!
