Broken Glow Plug Removal - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

After a lot of patience and bad words (not at the same time) finally was able to remove a broken glow plug on a K30 CUCV M1008 6.2. Broken by previous owner, a county plow truck. Removed the inner fender and steering rod for more room. (it was 2nd on in on driver's side) Slowly ( and I mean SLOWLY) soaked and drilled out the broken plug, making sure I did not go in deep enough for anything to fall in the chamber. This was a good 5 day after work project. Finally got the end out with the small easy-out and the metal base with the larger one, whew. Runs a little better now with 8 good glow plugs.

I'd have to agree with you on this.
