Exhaust manifold removal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Anyone had to pull the left(D.side) exhaust manifold out of a newer S/T-10 Blazer? 1995 w/ 4.3L

The manifold is loose but I can't work it out of the slot. I think they built the truck around it. Not quite sure how you change the plugs on that side.

I don't know whether it would be easier to removing steering column, or drop the exhaust and pull the front drive shaft.(4wd)

For anyone that cares. I had to remove the steering input shaft from the steering box to pull out the exhaust manifold. It looks to me that you'd have to remove the shaft to change the spark plugs on that side.

I changed 3 plugs, so now I'll have to look at changing the 3 on the passenger side. Doesn't look like very much fun.

. Good luck with the other side.

See, I care!

The plug can be removed (I am parting out a 2 wheel drive 92 S-10 Blazer) but it is a real PITA.

I had to jack my uncle's truck up and go in through the wheel well...

Yeah..I failed to mention that part.
Heck, I do most of them through the fender wells.
