The old glow plug is still in the head. At this point it's not worth the frustration to me to attempt getting it out.
He tried getting out another glow plug and it broke off as well, he then welded a bolt to what was left of that glow plug thinking he would have something to grip, that broke off at the weld so now there are two plugs stuck in the head and the remaining 4 are so tight in the head he gave up.
The engine runs great and has been so reliable to me but the car body is so badly rusted out it's time to replace the car rather than sticking money into it to remove glow plugs.
I'm looking for something with a turbo this time around and pre CDI whatever year that would be. Too much computerized stuff is not for me, I am old school!
