Glow Plug replacement DIY?

I'm about to take off the fender liner to do my #3 plug as I got a code saying bank 3 misfire. But before I dive in, curious if anyone has done their own plugs before? Any advice? They look buried so wish me luck! I'll take pictures.

What code are you getting? I'm unsure why a glow plug would cause a misfire?

So I don't think it's a misfire, just a code for that glow plug. Are you getting other symptoms?

Cool, thanks for looking that up! Maybe just bad fuel milage around 14 mpg. And check engine light.
