Good cheap glowplug reamer?
I've been reading all the helpful comments in the thread below about changing the fuel tank screen. Several people were kind enough to put on there where they found a suitable head for $10 or less, definately helpful. Was wondering if anyone has scored a good cheap glowplug reamer?

They're only about $25-30 new right? Just buy the thing at that cash.

I see them for $35 on fleabay... but I'm in college and might as well get it for $15.
In the thread below, someone paid something like $60 for a 46mm socket. Then someone else said they got one from Northern for $9. I was(am) hoping for something like that here. To borrow a quote I read somewhere - I'm not cheap, just broke!

I use a drill bit, twisted by hand.

Use an old glow plug. Flatten the round section with a hammer. Just don't do it so much that it would break off in the hole. Use it to ream out the hole.

A 46mm socket is different than a speciality tool.
You can get an entire set of 3/4" drive stuff from NT for $110 w/ tax.
