changing spark plugs
 
I know this sounds stupid but I am trying to change spark plugs on a 2001 ranger v6. Well the evaporator is blocking the access to the two rear plugs

So is there a special tool that I don't know about?

tried jacking up the truck and going in through the fender liner? i mean taking it out and then using that as your access? or a swivel with an extension on the socket wrench?

I didn't have any problems getting at the plugs on my 2003 3.0L. Didn't have to go through fenderwell or any funky tricks. What tools are you using? A large handle 3/8 ratchet can make for a hard job. I have a short 3/8 and a swivel 5/8 deep socket for the plugs. Keep a regular 5/8 deep socket handy for the easier to reach plugs.

Thanks guys. I need to get the swivel stock extensions. I was also using a full size 3/8 drive tool.
