Glow Plug Relay Update????

Do you ordinarily have to pull all the plumbing to the injectors in order to change the glow plugs?

I do to change them all, but I can do all but #2 with the hard lines on and usually will start on 3 good plugs in a pinch...recommend taking the lines off and getting all of them.

You would be wise to keep a extra fistful of those little damn nuts that hold on the bus bar.  I always drop the little bastards trying to do the one behind the IP.

I think I'm going to pimp my glow plugs ala Vince Walden just to make sure I don't lose those little buggers  :wink:
