Diesel noob here, so I apologize if this is a common sense thing and I am just being a dunce.
I was attempting to change the glow plugs on my '94 7.3 E-350 yesterday.. and I was having a tough time getting the white (plastic?) cap off the tip of the glow plug.
It was cold, and my fingers were not working as well as usual, but is there a trick, tool or special dance that is needed to pop the cap/wire from the top of the GP?
I'm not talking about removing the GP itself.. I'm talking simply removing the the wire lead off the top so I can get the socket on it.
I don't know how brittle the connector is, so I didn't want too yank too heard for fear of breaking/stripping/snapping something, and turning was should have been a simple task into a major project.
Insight appreciated.
