Yeah getting a socket on it is a pain...I used a 1/4" extension with a wobble extension and deep socket. Once you get it loose, you can actually use some small fuel hose like 1/4"-5/16", slip it over the top of the glow plug and then just turn the hose and it will thread the plug out. That's how I did it at least.

when i did mine i found that it is easier to attach your socket and extensions to a screw driver with the bit that you can hook the socket on instead of a ratchet. maybe different for you but it worked for me i have the ATS
