How to remove this Spark Plug V6 (picture)

Hi Guys,

Today I was changing all of my spark plugs
But there's one I cannot reach.

I'm pointing at the one with my indexfinger. It's the first Spark plug on the passengerside.

Do I need to remove something?
Any tips or advice is much appriciated

Cheers

Don

Looks like a 6" wobbler will fit between the A.I.R. check valve and the heater hoses. But it's tough to tell from here.

I can get my wrench extension with socket underneath the A.I.R. Check valve.
There's some space. But to start, I can't get my finger around the spark plug cabel to pull it of or afterwards, there's no space for my fingers to put it back on.

From underneath, i have checked it but imho there isn't enough space to?

Or is that the way to do it? I'm shure some V6 owners have the same problem as I have.😁

Well, I have the answer to "how to remove".

We are talking about the cyl. 1 Spark plug beneath the EGR module. The EGR rests on a bracket with a hole. Here's solution to get the Sparkplug cap of. A Spark plug plier (is that the actual english word for it). Just stick it through the hole and pull of the cap. After that, a proper extension will do to get the spark plug out.

Hope this will help other people!
