I just bought a 07 Yukon with 99000 miles on it so Ill be changing the plugs soon. I was wondering if this tool - http://www.amazon.com/GearWrench-81...UTF8&colid=6PGR3QB234A2&coliid=I2HGMKUK65T4GD would make it easier to get the #8 plug out?

Any update on if the tool you purchased from Amazon did the trick?

Hello Everyone, New here.

Just wanted to add to Monolith092068's post..
First of all I didn't feel like yanking the wheel and inner well so my stubborn self had to try my own way... (FAIL,OUCH,My arms hurt now from the cuts)
So I Saw Monoliths Post and taped a 3/4 short to my 5/8 SPARK plug socket.. (Perfect length) ..
Now here's my two cents..
If you have meat hooks with five sausages for hands then this may still be too tight... So just pop the bolt for the dipstick and slide it out, and that will increase the room enough to get your meat hooks in there...
Great idea, thank you. Just wanted to add to it... Now next time maybe I'll come here first.. Haha
Sorry I see post is old but maybe someone will benefit..
Edit.. Thanks to my wonderful organizational skills couldn't find my swivels... So I was limited in positioning also..

Got it from the top on my 2011.

I just laid on the top of the engine and pulled mine out. Took a bit longer just from cutting hands on the heat shield but other than that no issues.

Take that heat shield off and that little bit of room helps a lot. 3- 10 mm nuts and it's off.

I went in the right wheel well. Took down the fender liner and it took me less than 5 minutes to change it.

Do the first seven and plug wires at home then go to best friends house for BBQ and birthday party and ask him to do #8 since he is better at it and doesn't have "girly" hands like you do.

Note: I am a software developer and systems engineer which is why I have "girly" hands. It still took my friend about 45 minutes to do them and the only reason I did not try it myself was because I saw how much of a pain it would be and we were already late for the birthday party.

You can lay on the motor and change it. Key to remember is let the motor cool all the way. Don't lean on the heater hoses!!!!
