When i was doing glow plugs today i couldnt get to the 3 and 4 glow plugs. I tried a crows foot, a regular socket, ratchet wrench, normal wrench, and just couldnt get to them because the hard fuel lines were in the way. how do you go about getting to them?

That's kinds wierd. I've used a small 1/4 swivel before on a couple but don't ever remember anything being an issue as far as getting it done.

1-3-5-7 are on passengers side. 2-4-6-8 are on drivers side. Normaly a 1/4" drive and extension with a deep 10 mm or 3/8" socket will get to them. When you say 3 & 4 maybe you mean something else. Clarify that.
