With a slim 3/8" drive flex-head ratchet, not a problem anymore. Sears
sells them and so does Snap-Op and Mac.

(Had that problem in the beginning as well...and the plugs were put in by
Magilla Gorilla!)

Yes. I love that cylinder right there in the back next to the brake booster.
I had to squeeze here. turn there and finally. after scraped hands and such.
it comes out.

<< Hehehe, I thought I was the only one with problems changing plugs on my
 '97!! Here's what I did-put the spark plug socket just enough so you can
 see the hex end, then slipped a 13/16 wrench on there and voila, slim
 ratchet (sorta) I think they moved the motor back on the '97+ Daks (or
 "cab forward"), the drivers' side rear plug is pointed toward the
 firewall, and is tucked in right next to the power brake booster. Major
 pain in the a$$. Got my r&r procedure down to 20 min. on my 6'er. Hope
 this helps someone.
