Dang, I don't know for once... Hard start

Wasn't sure which were for the glow plugs so checked em all.

Any quick tips for when I put new ones in tomarra mornin?

Outside pins are the Glow Plugs.

Get a piece of fuel tubing that will fit over the Glow Plug tight and use it to unscrew - remove and install them. Will take a deep socket to break them loose and tighten them but the socket will bind if you try and unscrew them all the way with it. If you find one that is being stubborn don't get too rough with it, soak it down with PB Blaster or similar. They have a tendency to swell and get stuck sometimes.

Well that turned out to be a pain. Couldn't get the tranny dipstick loose to get enough clearance to pull off the passenger side valve cover. Ended up just only changin three out of the four bad ones on that side. Brandon did the drivers side where two were completely dead, one was halfway there, and the last one was actually good.

I own a '95 PSD....the right VC can be easily removed by first taking off the MAP box on the firewall on the right side...two 8 mm?? bolts hold it on...just move it outta the way and Bob's yer uncle...not sure 'bout the later models...

Naa, that was above the HVAC box which was pinnin' it down, and the auto tranny dipstick curved over top not lettin' it move up. Even swung 90deg it was then hittin the turbo.
