Another W124 300D Glow Plug Question
Has anybody ever managed to replace all the glow plugs without taking off the intake manifold
I think I could get to most of them by removing all the injector lines but the rear one might be tricky. I ask because I really don't want to mess with the IM, gasket and all the crap attached to it. I'll do it if there's no alternative. I also insist on replacing them ALL. If I can't replace them all then I'll go ahead and take off the IM, begrudgingly....

1/4 inch drive w/swivel adapter, approach from the rear (fire wall) parallel to engine.

I have changed my glow plugs twice. The first time I tried, and got two out before I gave up and pulled the intake.
The second time I didnt even try to do it without pulling the intake. The entire job only took me 2 hours the second time. Plus, if you take off the intake, you can take it to the parts store and have it hot tanked to clean out the inside.

You got them all out this way? I was hoping against hope this was possible but I wasn't sure it was.

#1 and #2 are easy to get to with the IM installed. Haven't had to deal with the others yet.

If the IM hasn't been off in awhile, do yourself a favor and take it off and clean it out- its not that big of a deal. Also clean out the intake ports on the head, just rotate the crankshaft until each set of valves are closed and use a 1" plumbers brush with some solvent and vacuum it out.

Only the #2. It was the only one needing changing.
