Just for reference--the elephant pipe or the corrugated pipe screw (the one you access from underneath) is a Torx-T30.. The manifold screws are Torx-T40.
My glowplug light went out, but the check engine is still on after replacing all 6. Hopefully a trip to Autozone to clear the code will fix this.
Great post--saved a ton of money. Took me a long time, but next time should be easier as my learning curve went way up.
Thanks a million.

Great job! Congrats. No reset is necessary, the CEL will reset itself after a number of normal glow/start cycles...I think 5-6 of them will do it. Unless you have tripped some other code, that is...but assuming your CEL is from the GPs then it will reset and clear automatically over time.
