    M1009 starting problems

    I just had the same exact problem on one today.... 3/8" socket on a 1/4" drive is what I used... then the puller on the swelled glow plugs worked wonders! Check your puller for what size wrenches you need before you get it all ready to go on the head...(learned that today too)
