Default Has anyone Changed spark plugs in a 2012 Equinox V6?

I have a 2012 Equinox V6 3.0 with over 200,000 miles on it.
The other day I went to change the spark plugs which was a way overdue service.
While it was a little tight I was able to change 5 of the 6 plugs,
The plug on the back passenger side (I don't know which cylinder that is but it is closest to the throttle body) I cant figure how to get out.
Unlike just about every other vehicle in the world there is very little information regarding how to do work on the 2006 Equinox 3.0 V6 motor.
It is maddening/surprising.
I had a devil of a time when I had to replace the alternator last year (to include even finding the correct replacement alternator) but that is another (horror) story...
Has anyone out there replaced ALL of the plugs on the 2012 Chevy Equinox 3.0?
Do you have to remove the intake/plenum to get to that back plug?
Any advise/counsel/pictures would be greatly appreciated.
