I will include a picture below, I have this 7.3 idit on a engine stand in my garage and glow plug number 8 has broken the top off of it. Iv been soaking it in panther **** for the last couple days and would like some advice before I go drilling.
My current plan is to let it soak, clean the area and drill a small pilot hole. drill a larger hole for my extractor bit, then before I use the extractor I apply heat all around the glow plug itself to loosen everything up and expand the metal.
Iv gotten broken bolts out of engines before, but this is the first time Iv had to mess with a glow plug. Any advice is appreciated as always.
