96 e300d glow plug caps
I am in the process of replacing my glow plugs. I have removed everything that needed to be taken out, and am now looking at the six glow plugs, with these little black caps attached to each one. How do you get the little buggers off the glow plugs? I have read one of the diy guides on the forum, and it mentions using a long nose pliers to gently squeeze the sides of the cap to remove it from the glow plug. I have tried this, but its a no go. Any help would be greatly appreciated......thank you

tbh I don't think mine even has those, so I'd just break one off and figure it out.

Dont break it; its probably part of the overall wiring harness and pieces are NOT sold separately.
Get in there with a mirror and flashilight and figure out how the clips holding it on work. You probably squeeze it at a certain point to spread the clips enough to pull off.

On my 1998 E300D TurboDiesel these are the connectors that pop on to the glow plug end. They just pull straight off. I used my fingers on almost all of them and a needle nose pliers on ones that were hard to get to. Just pull straight off the plug. Jim

Thank you all for your responses. They are the ones pictured, and they do in fact just pull off. When I read the diy piece, it mentioned to use a needle nose pliers and squeeze gently. I thought there were some kind of tabs holding them in, and that they had to be pushed in , but that was not the case. I tested all the glow plugs, and as luck would have it, the plug nearest the oil filter housing is the bad one. Can't get a straight shot with the filter housing in the way, so I am considering my options if any. Thank you all again for all your valuable information....
