2000 Frontier V-6 spark plugs

Can anyone tell me how to access the rear spark plug on the driver's side of my 200 Frontier V-6? It appears to be accessed from the rear of the engine but there is only a 2 inch gap between the rear of the engine and the firewall.

There is a detent in the firewall to the left of where the spark plug is located. The angle is just right with a 6"extension and the spark plug socket to slide the extension from left to right and use your left hand to guide the socket onto the spark plug. Your left hand will have to go just under the lines that run almost against the firewall. Make sure you just loosen the plug and blow out the dirt that is around the spark plug before remove it. This is not a pleasant plug to remove, so be patient. There is no way to see the plug...
