Do not try this at home 😂 Good effort man but so much you could have done before that one actually broke. Tip for next time. Loads of WD40 and work the threads, open, close, open, close, open, close.

Plus run the engine to warn the the glow plug threads also helps.

Exactly! I've never snapped one I've had one super stuck in there. Took me 4 days of heating the engine and soaking in WD on the 4th day attempt it turned patience is key

Just ran into this problem myself unfortunately, mine is not as bad still going to be a nightmare. A tip I learned is to do them with the engine hot so they come out easy without risking snapping them.

using a screw type extractor like that one can cause a thin wall thing like your glow plug to expand and tighten even more, but glad it worked out, I'm trying to remove a broken glow plug tip from mine, looks more and more like removing the head will be the only way.

What is the thread size on these glow plugs?
@KBCarping11 күн бұрын
Believe it was 8mm. Drill bit used was 7.2 or 7.8 or something like that. can’t quite remember now.

This nut you've welded to bolt remover you had alreasy stuck in - did it ever work to unscrew the whole thing with remaining part of glow plug?
@KBCarping6 ай бұрын
No it didn’t. I just managed to get the extractor out had to drill the rest of the glow plug out.

Merhaba ters klavuz işe yaradı mı direk çıktı mı? İçinden bir daha kırıldı mı? Teşekkürler.

Did you spray the glow plug threads before removing the glow plugs.

I did but possibly not enough 😩

I feel your pain, how does it run now? I've done the same on my combo.

Hi. Yes runs really well 🙂. They only to warm the cylinder, so once warm, after few seconds/minutes will run perfectly.

If people heat the engine an allow wd40 to soak you'll never snap one
