Glow Plug Removal Instructions

By chance does anyone have any decent glow plug removal diagrams/instructions. The Autozone Instructions arent the greatest and I havent bought a Repair manual yet. Thanks in advance.

Also I am confused about the glow plug controller. At Autozone he gave me a solenoid when I asked for glow plug controller. I went to AdvancedAuto.com, search glow plug controller. It gives me 2 different things. Ones a solenoid that does say glow plug controller and another part that also says that. Which one do I want to replace when doing Glow plugs.

The one azone shows is really the GP relay on the inner fender... the controller is screwed in the block cooling system. Your Parts America's dont link to a pic.

Glow plug removal instructions: take air breather off, take wire off all 8 Glow plugs, using a 3/8 wrench, unscrew glow plugs, and then pull the out. If they do not come right out like nothing, report back here.

Use a 3/8" socket with a 8-10" ext. I use 1/4" drive with a universal adaptor for easier access.
