I have changed my glow plugs twice. The first time I tried, and got two out before I gave up and pulled the intake.
The second time I didnt even try to do it without pulling the intake. The entire job only took me 2 hours the second time. Plus, if you take off the intake, you can take it to the parts store and have it hot tanked to clean out the inside.
