I'm changing spark plugs on my '00 Xterra , The first 5 were easy ,but that last one is being very difficult. Anyone got an idea?

Why don't u just follow the the spark plug wire to the plug. It should be on the drivers side all the way back against the firewall.

I should have posted more info . I pulled the wire off # 6 , but then trying to get a wrench on it proved impossible , and what I meant was that I can't see the plug , couldn't fit my hand back there to feel it.After 2 hours I finally got the plug wire back on , but never was able to change the plug, thanks for your attention..

Nissan may have given u a tool to use to pull out that plug...The eaisest way may be with a universal joint extension, a 6 inch extension and the a spark plug socket, then of course a socket wrench. That is a bad plug to pull but i have seen worse.

Nissan should have given you a tool to take out your spark plugs. Take a look in your little black back that's probably under your rear seats or in a side compartment with your jack.
