Need Help with #2 Cylinder Spark Plug

Yeah, I can't really get to it very well. Lot's of stuff in the way. I've got pretty thin wrists, and I can get the wrench and socket on there, but then I don't have enough room for leverage to turn the thing. Any sound advice besides removing the alternator? I was however able to remove the rest of the 7 plugs okay. And I tried a search on here already and didn't turn up anything helpful to my situation.

Thanks.

That would be the only advice I have: remove the alternator. Some people manage with it on there, but I always remove it.

I think with Hooker longtubes you don't have to remove the alternator. I usually can get to it pretty easy.

removing the alt. is no big deal and will help alot. also unplug the rubber hose from the metal smog tube thats in the way,then take a long 3/8s drive ext. and slide it in the tube and push it out of the way. when your done just pull it back and reconnect the hose. makes it alot easier.
