Re: Removing Spark Plug #4
I just did this yesterday..
On top of the spark plug socket place a swivel adapter to which you connect your ratchet. This gives you the clearance you need, crack the plug loose and then slowly work it out

I use a piece of rubber tubing to help start the plug and screw it back in. It helps me, YMMV.

Thank you for the tips.
When I finally figured it out how to access the plug. I realized #4 was not even tightened. Was able to loosen by hand. New plug in tight, car is humming

Just did mine today, found the swivel connector directly connected to the sparkplug socket worked great!
