Though the fender well, may need a long extension and a plug socket with a
built on flex, not a seperate u joint.

Had the same problem, finally just took it to a mechanic and it took
him over an hour just for that one plug. Good luck!!

I went to Sears and bought a 3/4 " swivel-head ratcheting box wrench
that fit on the SP socket. Got a little more room by sliding the
rubber boot on the SS out of the way. HTH.
