installing glow plugs in aaz

I feel like the luckiest guy on earth right now, but maybe I shouldn't. I have always read that installing glow plugs on the idi's was a tough job, it took me just over an hour from start to finish, maybe today is the day to buy a lottery ticket.

It's really not a hard job...just need to be patient.  I always remove the injection lines to make access easier.

ditto. My fingers are too fat to do this with the lines still on.
