Duramax LB7 broken glow plug removal

With engine warm. Break off end of plug. Pull off "nut". Break off remaining inner diode by twisting back and forth. Insert extractor and gently apply pressure until plug comes free. No guarantees.

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

yep that extractor would have broken right off for me! Good job!

[@AmericanaWoods]

I was crapping my pants watching that extractor torque up. That was suspenseful.

[@sharonmartin8334]

Fuck me....when the injector "cracked" my heart dropped a mile until I saw it move 😅

[@brettfleming5187]

This is the most nerve racking video I have ever seen. Just hoping that ez out didnt break. I was seriously stresed. Lol

[@after6tuning]

I was in suspense waiting for the extractor to break. Then its game over. I have had to remove broken taps using a Dremel and tungsten tip grinder. Pain in the butt. Good job though!!!

[@omfgwtfbbq90]

My extractor broke on my BMW E39 530d glowplug, I will try to weld a nut on it and extract it that way, if that wont work I will go the die grinder route... It sure will be a pain in the butt.

[@OrangeSpeedTV]

Just did all of my glowplugs today in my lb7 with 300k that’s seen every winter of salt since new.. I used the impact hammer adapter with the 3/8 drive made for these and it worked great, no way I would have been able to do it without it.

Congrats! What’s the tool you used? Gotta do some very soon on a 2017 and have had “issues” before! Thanks for sharing this

[@colerakocy2250]

@@richardcabitto5108 you might have done them but if you look up 3/8 air hammer adapter it will show up. Just a basic 3/8 socket that goes on your air hammer put a wrench on it and it will vibrate out

Th e worst nightmare of a mechanic bloody rust gives me the shivers when a extracted breaks shit know what do I do leave till tomorrow and have a beer

Napa has the square ease outs. They are the best ones.

[@joshuamoore24_7]

PB Blaster or liquid wrench would work on the glow plugs and glow plug boots, making them easier to remove.

[@deanakafazerdenzil113]

Thank you 👍

[@brianrodemeier5786]

When extracting glow plugs on a duramax. Use a 3/8 impact and NO MATTER WHAT, DO NOT GO BACK IN!! Use the impact in reverse direction only! Never had one break off. As you can see by the fuel lines and exhaust flange. He is working on #8 cylinder. The pain in the ass one, by location.

[@luiscorreia887]

Can you please, post the name of tool it holds extractor, and make it possible to connect ranches... Thank you for your support and help. Best wishes

[@brbroberts1]

I see an awful lot of rust belt corrosion on that truck, hopefully my California Cream Puff won't have any issues like that!

[@kylelaya2722]

What tools did you use to put in the glow plug and hammer

[@arnulfob3454]

Yeah ! Now throw that glow plug as far as you can

[@andynguyen554]

where do you get the adapter kit for the extractor to be able to use a ratchet.

[@nick9987]

Nice vid!! What extractor are you using? Link? Just curious... Which plug # was that?

[@jarrodmorby4516]

Driver side rear plug by firewall. Elitexion screw extractor I got on Amazon. I tried to change them all last fall and 2 of them broke. I probably soaked them biweekly ever since then. Had engine warm prior to extraction. It could not have gone any better.

[@nick9987]

@@jarrodmorby4516 So you soaked them for a year before doing this?!?!

[@jarrodmorby4516]

I would say 10 months but I did not plan on putting it off so long. I wouldn't think it would take that much time soaking. Especially if you are driving it daily.
