Anyone in NW/Central CT have a glow plug reamer?

I made the good move of replacing my 7 or 8 year old glow plugs but I rushed into the job without enough prep and forgot about reaming the glow plug holes (Taking the intake manifold took a lot longer then I expected )

My Gwagen is driveable and I can pick up and drop off tonight/tomorrow.

Nevermind. I took a hint from Funola and used a drill bit to carefully clean out what I could (I also ran the starter for a few seconds to blow out any residue)

I did all 6 plugs and took the intake manifold off.

Never, never again.
