My method of choice is to remove the cruise contol actuator behind the IP. That gives me enough room to work without breaking anything... like my fingers!

Yes, remove the cruise control and get some fuel line from autozone. The glowplug fits perfect on the fuel line. I also used a magnet, I also got it from autozone. Good luck and take your time. One more thing, do not over tighten the electric conection on top of the glow plug, they break off pretty easy.

OM602?


pull the intake/crossover tube and cruse out. So much easier, and allows you to clean the intakes (and possibly paint it!)
