Glow Plugs

Wow, what an easy job! I had read all the scary stories but decided it had to be done, last Winter I warmed it with the FBH prior to starting but I like things to work as they should so plugs had to come out! I purchased a Laser Vibrating Glow plug tool to do this job, quite expensive at £150 but well worth it, the plugs were very tight but after about an hour and a half of rattling with the gun all six were out. I was soaking the plugs all the time I was removing them with WD40 penetrating oil. (not the usual WD40) But I don't think this is any better than any other penetrating oil. Total time about three hours!
Just out of interest I always run with 2SO at every fill up. Perhaps I was just lucky, might buy a lottery ticket this week Laughing

Could you tell me more on this tool (Model)?

Thanks

Hi dgardel

This is the description of the tool I used: Laser tools 6035 Impact Glow Plug removal kit 9pc.
It has to run on a minimum 90psi pressure but I had my compressor set to 130psi and used the tool on setting 2 (20nm) above this setting there is a risk of the plug snapping! It took about 15 minutes on each plug and they all came out perfectly.

Price £150.89

I purchased it from here:

Hi

I used high temperature ceramic grease, I purchased a small 50gram tin for about £2.50 enough for about 100 plugs!
