If anyone is willing to rent or sell at a decent price I'd be interested. Also if anyone knows where to buy ones cheap I'd be interested as well..

Any help greatly appreciated guys

Yes

Forgot to attach the picture to explain the theory.

#1. Start unscrewing the glow plug.
#2. Pause when roughly one third of the threads are exposed.
#3. Capture the threads with the hinged nut.
#4. Hold the nut with a wrench.
#5. Continue unscrewing the glow plug.

The extra threads allow you to pull the stubborn (carbon loaded) electrode tip out of the cylinder head with minimal additional effort...
