Wish I could bill someone for this.
If they cannot drill a hole then they have other issues. What I would do is coat the entire GP body from the threads to the end of the body and not the glow plug tip with antisieze and pull it out once every couple of years. I didn't have much build up of carbon. Just the threads siezing in the head
