How to remove broken glow plug

Great video, short and to the point. No endless rambling, just clearing showing the steps. About to try and remove a broken glow plug and was struggling to find instructions to make sure i do this correctly. Thanks

Honestly such a great video of how to remove these little buggers. Just got the kit and will be employing what I learned here. Watched like 25 videos that were good but this one it a real world video that most people will use.

Just used same puller on a broken glow plug on a Vw golf worked a treat . tried a slide hammer before using this which did not work but this did . hooray 😀

[@elibradley7418]

Awesome teacher video i know now what to do with this kit as i just broke one on 6.6 liter duramax today

[@playsportfun3356]

Great! Accept you have to tap the hole before you pull the tip so bits don't fall in the cylinder.

[@mikek9778]

What do you mean by tap the hole?

[@janmedricky9640]

@@mikek9778 Reshape the 10 mm thread before pulling out the broken plug.

[@jp1548]

Great, thanks. The kid had no instructions so you where a lifesaver. Had no clue how a right handed extractor was going to turn out the threaded portion? My only suggestion is make sure you don't just crank in the tap. you need to half turns and back up to break off the cut so the cuttings don't jam up the flutes of the tap. If this happens the tap will break off when it binds....then its head off for sure.

[@MarcoPereiraFerramenta-Online]

Thanks 👍

[@Crusaderfixer]

A left hand drill bit of the appropriate size is a must have for extracting broken right hand threaded anything. The heat and vibration will very often turn the thing right out, on the bit.

[@lasseblomqvist9378]

​@@CrusaderfixerDo you know of any extraction kits with a counter clockwise approach that you could recommend?

[@nomadsteve5297]

You are a life saver, thank you

[@Pete856]

I just bought the same kit as shown here. One thing to be careful with is the 8mm and10mm taps in the kit have 1mm pitch threads which are finer than standard metric, my glow plugs are 10 x 1.25mm....luckily I already own the right tap. The other thing is the length of the glow plug, mine are quite short after the thread and there is a danger the stepped drill will cut the tip off the plug at the point I have drilled the threads out...I might stop short and use a different drill bit to finish the larger diameter hole.

[@Clipuri-Diverse]

WOW !THE BEST MAN ! TKS !

[@MarcoPereiraFerramenta-Online]

[@vincentrolfe1384]

at time 4:28 when you pulled out the broken end of the glow plug lost in the head; it was a thing of beauty!!!! Need I say more!

[@MarcoPereiraFerramenta-Online]

👍

[@eedom69]

I am imagining that when I finally get it out. And hopefully don't destroy the threads or worse in the process. My glow plugs are on the side of the engine not like this one.

[@mohe81]

If it is only the sleeve thats stuck, does no metal fall into the engine when you drill?

[@paulelscey2465]

Great video. I got set of transit plugs to try and get out after lunch which allways snap .not looking forward to getting the head of. Might see if the company will invest in one of these tools

[@nasokas]

Love the demonstration how it works, but just one question. When you where making threads at the end, doesn't it cause small metall bits to fall in? As far as I saw other people make thread's before pulling out the glow plug. Or there ar no is no small bits left when you remake threads?

[@MarcoPereiraFerramenta-Online]

Yes, this can happen, but without removing the broken glow plug, You do not get the thread open correctly , the thread opener must be lubricated with grease,so the filings tend to stick to the tool . And there is less likely to fall into the engine .

@@MarcoPereiraFerramenta-Online Do extractors ever work? 1 out of 8 broke and I've been trying for days to get the last one out which broke at the hex near threads. Tried 3 different extractors so far. The hole left by extractors has grown and probably too big for this. Thought about trying to thread the hole and screw a bolt and nut in like double nut method which looks kinda like this right???.... but getting closer to threads. Been trying heat, oil, and as of today citric acid spray.

[@Tzeentch_swe]

One could tap the threads in the block before tapping the plug and removing it. Then theres less risk of getting metal parts in cylinder

[@jackrees5325]

Any tips on removing the glow plugs boys and girls I have atleast one that's snapped so far (by previous owner) and need to replace all of them

Good video but one problem .repair with the tap before removing the old glow plug to avoid Metal fillings from going into the Cylinder

[@fixitfrank1752]

Andy B hi Andy what I mean is to tap the cylinder head first then remove the old glow plug broken piece with the old plug in place when tapping the cylinder head no filings will go down into the bore .if this is not possible use grease on the tap cheers

Wish I read your post first. Now I'm afraid to tap it for this reason.

to prevent locking up in future a bit of copper slip on the thread helps.

[@jamesceltic6011]

I have this unit. The first issue I faced was the removal of the centre electrode which was protruding out of the broken gloplug so cannot drill the glow plug. So to temove center electrode I took a 8 mm long bolt about 100 mm long and drilled a 5 mm hole in the center of the bolt about 4 mm deep and then drilled a 3 mm hole about 20 mm deep and tapped it . I tried to tread the bolt on to the electrode. Then pulled it however did not extract the electrode. I tried again with a drop of tec 7 super glue. It worked the first time. Now I have the body of the extraction tool wedged over the glow plug area and can not remove it.

[@davidcart28]

Will this kit remove the electrode end part

[@crpth1]

I'll leave my 2 cents, in the form of a warning! This particular kit DO NOT work on the PSA/Ford DV6 engine (i.e. 1.6 HDI or 1.6 TDCI) on cylinder no. 2! Remember no. 1 is on the clutch side. For the other cylinders I cannot comment, since I didn't test. But particularly on the no. 2 it won't work. At least not on the engine casting I tested. Peugeot 307 SW 2006, 1.6 HDI (HXC). All the procedures indicated for the tool various components work perfectly (drilling, tapping, etc)! BUT the problem is the extraction stage, as seen on 4:00. On this particular engine casting there's no space for the holding sleeve to rest against. As such the extractor pin (2:50) got bend, but the plug remain in place. Now slightly jammed... Extractor tool of the "sliding hammer" type, seem to be the perfect choice for this particular case. Since it don't rely on a saddle to rest the holding tool. That in this case is too small. Be aware. Cheers. Example on a DV6 (1.6 HDI) cylinder no. 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYOqXmRrh8uJn7s

[@lewisjasper7808]

Mine is slightly different. My glow plug has come out with the full thread but it has left the casing inside the head. So I’ve got no threads at all to drill out just the outer casing of the glow plug and electrode to get out. Should I skip the tapping of the head since there is no threads for me to remove and go straight to tapping the casing that has the tiny hole left where the glow plug rod was

[@MarcoPereiraFerramenta-Online]

When the preheat plug breaks in that area, you need another type of tool, other than this one. But it is almost done in the same way but with another tool.

Yes, you have to remove the interior core befor drilling .

Copper grease !!

don't use copper grease. The electricity going through the glowplug can react with the copper grease and cause it to seize in even worse! Use a ceramic grease especially for this purpose like Liqui Moly 3381 Pro-Line Injector and Glow Plug Grease

[@philip.aocallaghan4602]

Nobody shows a glow plug broken in a very difficult area, like the back of the engine with no space .. the glow plug breaks halfway down .. the threaded area and most of the electrode come out there are no taps long enough to reach the plug... what can you do. you cannot use a drill .. I wish someone would produce a video showing the removal of such a glow plug. No point showing the easy ones

[@MarcoPereiraFerramenta-Online]

This video is to show how to use the tool. To make a video where you don't have much access, you can't make the video either. But on cars with poor access it also works the same way, it may take more or less time, or you may have to dismantle one thing or another.
