I have used this method in the past with success on seized bolts. the melted wax seems to "wick" into the threads similar to solder flux when soldering copper pipes.

You are the first one that has posted that it works.
I am inclined to think it would work where the treads are corroded but not if they are siezed due to Carbon leaking past the sealing area (the plugs don't seal on the threads).
Note use some never-sieze type compound at least on the threads of the new Glow Plugs to prvent the corrosion.
