[diesel_mercedes] Series Glow plug removal

 



Laura ;

If yours look like Bills, then yes there's a specific method I use :

It takes two pairs of good quality pliers : one a small pair of ' Water pump ' (NE: Channel Lock)  to hold the ring just inboard of there the electrical connecting strap goes so it doesn't rotate as you use the second set of pliers to loosen the round outer nut .

I'd wire brush the exposed threads before doing anything else .

It is critical to hold the inner ring/nut thing so neither it nor the electrical connector rotate as you loosen the outer ring/nut .

If it's posible to convert this engine to parallel glow plugs from the current series setup , do so it'll make your life much easier .

I got the first and last nuts off but the middle two glow plugs don't have nuts....it's like an aluminum ring and I have tried using a pair of pliers without luck. Is there a trick?
