You guys must have big hands or something. I can do all five in 30 minutes using nothing but 8 and 12 mm combo wrenches.

I have big palms with short stubby fingers... Probably the worst combo for this job.

Put plenty PB Blaster on the 8 mm nuts and the glow plug threads. Support (hold) the wire lugs while undoing the 8 mm nut or the electrode may spin ruining the glow plug and make it difficult to remove. Break loose all glow plugs with a long 12 mm box then use a gear wrench to spin them off.
