Once I delved into my S-10, I found it extremely easy to do. Jack up either side front wheel for the side you are working on, remove wheel.
Pull aside the middle section of the mudflap under the fender.
Pull plug wires and replace plugs.
For the drivers side #3 plug, behind the steering shaft, I used a wobble extension NOT a swivel joint, as it did not fit. A wobble extension gives you about 15-20 degrees of flex at the socket end, can be found at most stores like lowes, harbor freight, etc.
This was all that was needed to remove the #3 plug WITHOUT removing the steering shaft.
Now the plastic distributor base is another story altogether, one of the screw tabs on mine broke, I used some scrap metal, a few screws to mount it to the base, a longer hold down screw, bleah! Got it tied down though, running smooth as butter now.
