I really hate to ask a question that appears to be this stupid, but
I will.  With that as a warning, how do you remove the spark plug
closest to the front of the engine (plug #1 ?) on a 77 Midget.  The
problem is that the spark plug socket that I have is to long to get
between/over the plug and the alternator, and the alternator is adjusted
as far away as possible from the plug.  As I see it I have the following
choices:
        1.  Remove the alternator.
        2.  Find a different socket (maybe shorter), or wrench.
        3.  Leave the plug in place and pretend that it is good.
        4.  Ask the experts.
Am I missing something very obvious?  I can't believe that number one is the
answer.  Any advice will be helpful. 
Thanks,
Bill Gilroy
