I remove the Fuel Injection Hard Lines when I pull the Glow Plugs otherwise I would surly lose some of the little nuts.
But, some Members in the past have said they have no problems leaving the Lines on while the work on the Glow Plugs.

I think it's funny that anyone would gripe about using a 9/16 instead of a 14mm. Granted that they are slightly different but either will work just fine. I made my own - just one bent wrench and I worked my Snap-On 14mm in for the other wrench, with fuel lines in place. No issue. When I needed to hold the spring pack I broke out the Channel Locks as noted.

It would be nice to have a spiffy set of the right wrenches but I won't do this all that often so I don't feel the need. And I have to go to Tool Collector's Anonymous regularly (My name's Dan and I'm a Tool Collector.....")

I think the thing to remember is that you hear some people saying "just jam a screw driver in there is the valve spins". This is not a smart move - I think this is what caused this to my OM617 =>
