Glowplug Removal Trouble

[imckee86]

Worked on changing the glowplugs out in my 95psd today, and everyone of them came out easy and smoothe except one. The electrode ended up pulling out of the body of the plug on that one because the tip is swollen up i reckon, and is still stuck in the head. I've tried everything i can think of to try and work it loose to get out, and ive tried everything folks have posted about on here that ive found about how to get one like that out and nothin seems to be workin. Any suggestions, ideas or thoughts? Also I need to find out what the torque specs are for my rocker arms and injectors. Thanks!

The way its lookin it appears im proably gonna have to end up doin that. I didnt have the chance much to fool with it today, but I was able to spray some good penetrant down around the stuck electrode every couple hours or so. We'll see what tomorrow has in store for it I reckon.

Have you tried Kroil penatrating oil?

 

[imckee86]

Exactly what i sprayed on it. Thats GOOD stuff!

Has anyone here ever tried "Deep Creep". It is made by Sea Foam and supposed to be equal to Kroil??

I had this problem sprayed pb blaster on it and let it sit for a day and made a puller and when we went to put it on to pull it out the electrrode fell into the cylinder. So off came the head

I have some but I have never tried Kroil. It works okay, have not had a great test for it. IT sure smells a lot better than that PB blaster, that stuff STINKS.

Thr kroil seemed to do the trick! after soaking good overnight i able to get it worked out after an hour or so of playing with it. The electrode would push down easy but would not pull back up. I was able to take a small flathead screwdriver and barley pry up on the electrode and it moved a lil upwards. I put a pair of needle nose vise grips on it and after an hour of wigglin it was out!

Just don't try and force them out. As said above spray each one with a good penatrate. Try to tighten them first, use a torque wrench set at 15-20. If they are stuck coming out, work them in and out a little at a time. 10MM deep socket wrench.

Another awesome product for this is Gibbs Brand Penetrant. Crazy good stuff. Glad to hear your patience paid off large.
