Cant get front left (passenger side closest to front of car) spark plug wire.

Trying to change the last wire but i am having no luck. Did anyone else who changed wires remove anything or do i just have fat hands? The wiring harness and oil dipstick keep my from getting a good grip on it.

Can you get to the bolt holding the dipstick tube?

If so remove it and pull the tube. Pay attention to the angle it goes in at/its original position. Can be tough to get them back in and find the hole if you don't line them up just right.

Loosening up the dip stick tube can help. Just getting the bolt out will let you maneuver it. It won't come out. GM screwed us there.

just remove the bracket the wire harness is zip tied to as well as the dip stick bolt. The dip stick will move then. You should be able to access the spark plug wire at that point, or at least have more room to access it. I used a large pair of needle nose on it being sure not to apply too much pressure and crush the housing. Wiggle it around a little bit, push in, twist, and pull it off. It's really not that bad once you move some stuff out of the way.
