So after contemplating how to remove some swollen glow plugs, and not wanting to spend money on so called specialized tools I came up with my own cheap easy way to do this.
1 We need a set of M10-010 nuts.
2 Cut the head off with a dremel or a pneumatic cut off wheel.
3 Cut an indentation into the plug for a screwdriver.
4 Screw first nut onto plug, insert screwdriver into slot and turn screwdriver back and forth while turning nut against the block, be sure that plug threads are all the way out of the block before doing this.
5 When first nut runs out of threads on the plug , thread second nut on the outside and place wrench on that nut using the inner nut as a wedge, keep turning the screwdriver to loosen the carbon from the tip of the plug, TAKE YOUR TIME ! 6 Congratulations, you've removed a swollen glow plug, and saved some money ! Good Luck
