Can you please give us more information? Do you want to change just the #1 spark plug? IF so this is the location of the cylinder and a guide to help you step by step.

The #1 spark pug is the first one on the right side of the engine towards the firewall. This can be hard to get to so use a universal 5/8 spark plug socket to help. Please upload a short video in your response of the problem, so I can see what's going on. Ken
