I found the PERFECT tool for getting the 8mm nuts off. Its a Snap On 8mm flex head rachet wrench. You can lock it at an angle and the rachet in very fine tooth. Its maybe 5" long. This is the 10mm version http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=&item_ID=68073&group_ID=17480&store=&dir=catalog
(cant find the 8mm in the catolog.  :P) It was maybe $25-and worth every penny.
 Another trick i did was cut the bottom out of the holes on the buss bar. so you can install the glow plug with the nut on-and then hook the bar over the stud and screw it down-alot better than dropping the nut behind the IP.  :-X
