Hi, Is it customary to remove part of the intake to access the one injector that is a little blocked by it? Thanks!!

What year and model?

Thanks alot....and to get at the glowplugs I imagine the whole thing might have to come off?

There is people who have replaced the glow plugs without removing the intake, but I am not one of those people.

I have done #1 and #2 without removing the intake though, those are easy. #6 seems pretty easy too.

I did the job the "long" way because I got a new intake gasket and all new injector line clips to install, plus I wanted to get a little intimate with my engine.
