Angry machine shop needed quickly

after having 2 glow plugs replaced two weeks later another one burnt out. pulling 3 of 4 glow plugs out of a 95 E300D the #5 broke. I have tried to use ez outs and bent and mangled two of them. it seems the next step is to remove the head and have it taken to a machine shop and removed. any suggestions on how long it takes to remove a head , how much it costs and a machine shop located in NJ. I need this done soon, the 30 mpg is missed from this car. any help will be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Did you check the posts in the archives? Your problem comes up from time to time if i remember. Might be a creative ideal there.

MB Dealers are supposed to have a special tool, and a procedure developed for just such a problem.

Check with your MB dealer. It may be cheaper than removing the head.
