With a twist socket and small hands it can be done. In fact I've replaced a number of glow plugs on my 603 and we have never taken anything out to do the job! (Having a 2nd person to hold open the throttle for clearance of the last two plugs helps.) For me its the 2nd and 3rd plug behind the IP that are the hardest to get to.
