CAUTION: Serious engine damage will occur if the damaged glow plug is not retrieved from the cylinder. There are two methods that are used
in order to remove glow plugs with blistered or swollen heater coil sheaths.
Method I
1. Remove the injector nozzle from the failed glow plug cylinder.
2. Place a shop towel in the precup chamber in order to capture the glow plug tip when it breaks off from the glow plug shell upon removal (this will
keep the tip from dropping into the cylinder).
3. Use a pair of needle nose pliers (or other griping device) in order to grasp the tip and remove it from the precup chamber.
4. Remove the shop towel and reinstall the injector nozzle.
