That’s what I needed to do the number 8 spark plug on my Silverado. I had to do it from underneath.

After that you could loosen your neighbors nut and bolts without getting up off the sofa.

I had to drop the transmission cross member and get the socket on with a contortionist act from the top and then have someone crank from underneath. Took 15 minutes to get the socket on then it came out super easy.

You need one o’ them fancy-shmancy  bluetooth extensions.

I had a 2001 Nissan Frontier and there was a spark plug all the way back and down a long way.

That type of job is why I always make sure not to piss off at least one of my skinny friends.

Yeah there was zero chance of a fat guy getting his hand behind the block to guide the socket on.

Oh so it turns out something did actually carry over to the Colorados from S10s... I remember mentioning between swear words that if that dirty such such clutch ever needed to replaced again I would sell the truck rather than go through this for a second time.

They have tools for just such a job:

https://www.amazon.com/SK-SKT-46175-Impact-Extension-Adapter/dp/B00061SNGQ/

Uses a 1/2" ratchet/impact on the drive side and a 3/8" drive socket on the other side so you can use a high powered 1/2" impact wrench which will have its torque diminished significantly over the 3 feet of torsional flex, so a 3/8" drive socket will survive.

Cheaper $20 version:
