To some this answer may seem like a joke, but it's not. There is a small access panel that comes off in about two minutes that makes it easy to get to the difficult plug.
how in the hell do you get to this plug???

I have that one too. I bought it at Harbor Freight for about half the price. It didn't work for me. I threw it aside after 2 minutes and haven't used it since. The thicker part of the wrench was too bulky too fit in tight spaces. I hope you have better luck with it. I think some have said it was useful on earlier C4's. Not sure. I have headers also and that Ebay wrench with one additional socket works extremely well for me. The extra socket I bought from NAPA in the $3 parts bin in a set of three.
He is right, send it back.

Yeah its a bitch on a GMC Yukon too! Put in a set of Bosch +4 plugs. Truck was so bad it was inoperable. Truly a bad miss. To add insult to injury had to take them out 2 days later and put OEM plugs in and it took me a ton of times.

The snake worked fine for me since May 30, 97. The year does not matter, all C4's #7 spark is a Btcih

I used a spark plug socket a couple of days ago.After I took a hammer and mashed my hand flat it slipped right in no problem.
No seriously the back plug on the passenger side is a little tough but it can be done and the smaller your hands the better.
