I don't recommend a vinyl hose because when it gets really cold that hose becomes rock solid and can break from vibrations of the engine. Try rubber or something

But yes, I think I'll be getting his reamer and the wrench that goes with it.

you mean getting glow plugs out? OM617 don't have problems with plugs seizing in the head.


you don't really need any special wrenches. a small 12mm ratcheting box end wrench can be helpful but if you're doing injectors at the same time and removing the hard lines you don't need that either.
