1996 Chevrolet Blazer spark plug changing?

I have heard this can be a tricky model to change the spark plugs on. Can anyone explain to me in detail and maybe provide pictures on where the spark plugs are and how to access them?



Thank you!

It is easiest to change them if you remove the front tires. There is a flap of material that you can lift up and put your socket and extension straight in. The hardest part is getting the plug wires off. The #1 cylinder (front driver's side) is dang near impossible to get off without a $25 special tool or removing the steering shaft. The shaft isnt too hard to get off, there is one bolt you have to remove and the shaft slides off steering box. Just be careful that the steering wheel doesnt rotate (it should be locked) or you could cause damage.

patients is the key word, just be careful not to pull off vaccum lines or all the other stuff crammed in your way. take your time,replace one at a time located on side of motor. purchase an auto repair manual for this model blazer at an auto parts store, has pictures and help walk you through this step by step procedure. Good luck and the manual will always come in handy for any other do it your self stuff on the vehicle.
It Isn't any harder than a normal car or truck to change your Blazer plugs.They are in the same place as in other cars or trucks.
