Problem is it is nearly impossible to get the GPs disconnected and removed without pulling the injector spider, which means repriming and difficulty to start, etc., etc.

Or am I blowing it out of proportion?
With the mod I made to the glow plug harness and using the proper tools, I can remove and replacing all 5 glow plugs in less than 15 minutes without removing the injector hard lines. I made the mod to make it easy to do a compression test every 10K miles.
