617 Glow Plug Stuck!
Started to change out my glow plugs last night (prevous owner had used Champion Glow Plugs). I was able to very easily remove the old glow plugs from the first 4 cylinders and replace them with Bosch Glow plugs but the last glow plug just won't budge! Ive been consistently soaking the area's around the glowplugs with PB blaster for a few days.
I ended up rounding off the glowplug on the #5 cylinder (right next to the oil filter housing). Ive tried a special bolt-grip rounded bolt remover socket, a pipe wrench, vise grips and even applied heat to the glow plug (bad idea since the area was soaked in PB blaster). Nothing works and now Ive mangled the glowplug. It just will not move!!
Any ideas on what to do next? I am at the point where I am just going to put it back together and take it to an indy.. but figured its worth a shot asking on the forum since money is very tight..
