Maybe some detailed instructions with pictures ? .
This is the time of year for Glow Plug and Injector Service before you get stuck on a cold morning .

If you have the reamer with the Aluminum hex and threaded area on it you need to rotate it clockwise and cut into the Carbon till the threads reach the threads in the hole then screw into the threaded hole till you can't screw it in any more.
I have never used the newer Hazet ones so I cannot comment on them.
Putting grease into the grooves of the reamer taps the carbon in the grease. Careful they can be sharp on the hands.
