How to remove the glow plugs

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Glow plugs

In this video we can see how to disassemble the glow plugs; the work should be done with the engine warm, where the danger is that the glow plug may break inside (and then it's really painful). It is not a difficult job, but delicate. In fact, as we can see from the video, it is not a position that allows for a wide view, we have to almost feel our way. At the time of reassembly, it is advisable to spread copper grease on the new glow plug on the thread. It is very important that the thread goes straight down, because if it were to be crooked, it would have to be re-threaded. It is always better to change them all together, as the youtuber shows us. After some difficulties, a ignition test is done and everything works perfectly.
