glow-plugs stuck
I have two glow-plugs that didn't come out. One left just the tip stuck in the head, The other still has the electrode and tip in the hole "just the barrel came out." I dont know why people would use those dang AUTOLITE plugs. The one with just the tip in it is the back hole on drivers-side, The one with the electrode in it is second from front on driver's side. With all the glow-plugs removed "except for those two" I tried to crank it over and blow them out. It didn't do any good. I even have wd-40 setin in the hole for two days. WHAT DO I DO??????? Does anybody make a tool to screw into the tip and maybe use a slide hammer to get them out?

Let them soak. Sometimes you have to punch it down a bit to free it. Then remove. Also sometimes a gp will expand the tip when they blow. I have had to punch them into the cyl. Then remove the inj and pull it out the hole as a last resort.
