Why did it take so long?
I can change #1 through #4 in less than 3 minutes each. #5 longer, may 10 minutes. The trick is have the wires easy to remove and use the correct tools.
I'll probably never have to change mine again since going to a manual glow plug relay because they don't get used much except from a dead cold start.
