I'm no mechanic, but I am a mechanical engineer and always tinker with everything I can get my hands on....and usually succeed, but this mercedes is driving me crazy. I live in an apartment complex so taking off the head myself is not an option, my friend was kind enough to let me use his garage for a few days so thats where the car is right now.

i found these two guides on how to remove broken glow plugs

and they're both similar, I'm just worried about stripping the thread on the head....
