Here is what I did when I took out my GPs. I took out the bad one and found it stiff. So I went around and took them all out. A couple more were stiff. Cleaned them throughly before I put them in again.

Reaming. Well, I took the glow plug and went to Wal*Mart. Matched up the tip with a gun bore brush and went just a hair bigger. The reamer you buy can only be so wide till it can't go thru the hole. The gun bore brush can be larger since it can bend to go in and fluff out when it gets to the other side.

After reaming, I crank the engine over a bit and blow out the carbon debris if there was any.
