[diesel_mercedes] Re : Glow Plug Replacement

 



Well Sid ;

I'm lazy so I remove the fuel injector pipes first , then I tuck a long rag down below the GP's along the side of the block so those tiny nuts & washers don't get lost when I drop them...

Of course , the finish of the job is to hand operate the manual primer pump a few zillion times bfore chugging it back into life and holding the RPM's to a high idle as the air bleeds out so you don't get stuck when it dies backing out of your gate into a busy narrow road (ahem) .
