    And I used to think it was bad when you almost had to pull the motor to change plugs.

    There were many things on both the choppers I worked on and M-1's where the engineers did not think of the maintenance crews.

    To change the #4 spark plug on my 4.3 vortec powered S 10, the steering knuckle had to be broken , and the shaft pushed aside.

    This video didn't help, as the plug bottomed out on the steering shaft and wouldn't come out.

    Hey, I love old 4.3 S10s I had a Baja w/off road stuff , lights, brush guard........still have it.

    Plugs suck but a 5/8 plug socket with a 5/8 open wrench got you there, or use a 3/8" plug socket with a 3/8" u-joint adapter. Been there.
