I already bought bosch and they are on their way. Got them for $8 a piece from auto haus AZ. I got the rest of the plugs out with no problem at all. I ended up taking the injector lines off because i dropped the nut extracter in between the IP and the engine. When I stuck my magnet down there to get it the friggin magnet stuck to somthing down there and ripped off the little goose neck. I was able to get both out after removing the lines. I ended up buying a few tools at HFT to help me along. The "thru" ratchet was awesome, but it wouldn't fit in some spots so I got the thin ratchet too.Worked a heck of a lot better than my little wrench. I just couldn't get the leverage with it.

I guess due to counterfeiting the last batch of Bosch Glow Plugs had what I think are Holographic Tags on the Box. I bought a Steering Colum Lock Assembly from a Mercedes Dealer and it turns out is made in France (see pic). Neiman is cast into the Housing and Neiman/VALEO are parts of the same Company.

Interesting! As I was falling asleep the other night, dawned on me Michelin tires are made in France. Duh! So, Bosch might be just fine, and got the one bad apple manufactured before the summer holiday! So, will keep a better watch on how the Bosch do, as I try to keep an open mind.
