Looks like you have seen the M*******Source ad.
The little gadget brush is not need.

You do not need the Instructions because our do-it-yourself section has ample instructions.

The Factory Made Glow Plug Reamer has a 7mm outside diameter bit on it.

The use of Grease is recommended by the Factory Service Manual because ti traps the reamed out Carbon and holds it in the Grease. The Grease is not being used as a lubricant.

In 2 of the below pics I used Vasoline so that the Carbon would show up. However, except on a very cold day Vasoline is too runny. I normally use Wheel Bearing Grease because that is what I have; the service manual does not specify any particular Grease.

In one of the Pics I show my Home Made Glow Plug Reamer on the Left; a Glow Plug in the Center and a Factory made Reamer on the right.
On the ones I make I used a 6 Flute (groove) Reamer on the end.
