Just did my plugs on my 2014 Sierra the other day and had heard about number 8 so I was definitely dreading it. Dudes exactly right about not being able to get it done from the top, and trust me I tried for a good 30 minutes. Luckily my truck has a 6" lift so I didn't have to remove the wheel, just the well shroud but if you don't have a lift on then go ahead and save yourself a ton of headache and just remove the wheel from the get go. Don't even try it from above.

Great video. I can echo your advice on not trying this without pulling the wheel and inner splash guard. I tried for about 5 minutes and realized I could have already had them off by now! 😄 Save yourself time and headache people. Listen to this man and pull the wheel and splash guard!

I have a 2016 Suburban, just changed mine. Put it on ramps slid under the front , folded up the fender well and wedged it on the tire. Left arm along side the bell housing , right arm in from above the outside of the frame. It isn’t easy but it works.

I ended up just working around the wheel. I turned the wheel in and out as needed and it wasn't too bad. After taking the lugs off, I found the rim was fused to the hub, I decided that was a problem for another day. After doing this with the guards out now, I can't imagine tying to do this from the top side.

Did my 2014 a month ago. Went thru the top with all 8 plugs. Back passenger side was a little tricky, especially with huge hands, but nothing too crazy. Sparkplug socket and 1½" ⅜-extention was all it took to break loose and put back. Putting back was the tricky part. With the spark socket and 1½ extension, it wasn't terrible at all. Did all 8 with wire in 30-45 minutes.

I did them from the top. Used a socket on a plug socket for #8. Would have been no trouble if I could get the plug socket off the plug, it sucked in tight and I couldn't get it out. Had to mess with that one for an hour.

@@dondoes4303 It really wasn't that bad. I used a longer socket without rachet on the plug socket hex to screw in by hand and seat first so I wouldn't thread cross while laying across the top. I then inserted a ratchet and shorter socket on the plug socket hex. But like I said, if the plug socket I had didn't hold the plug so tight I would have gotten it first try. I am over 60 so younger guys and gals should have no problem, but I can see why removing wheel and well might be better.

So for that spark plug, passenger side #8 it took me 10- 12min to get it out , you don't need to take off the tire you can 100% reach from the top ... and yes I have a 2017 chevy silverado 1500 6.2L v8.... I also took off that heat shield which made a big difference

2016 silverado 1500, Worst part for me was just getting the right extensions for #8, think i ended up using a 3/8" 5/8" socket for the plug, 1/2"to3/8" adapter, 3/8"to1/2" adapter, then a 3/8" flat racheting handle with the push button release of the attachments, was able to use that to take out and put back in then also was able to fit a 3/8" torgue wrench in the same area to ensure it was tight enough. Stood on a concrete block and had covered the fender area with a cover to lean on and over. Would imagine that reaching in with shorter arms could be an issue though. Lots of ways to accomplish this and congrats to everyone for trying and succeeding. I worked slow and did 5 plugs one rainy evening and 3 the next day after work.
