stuck glow plug?
I'm replacing the glow plugs, had no problem with #'s 1-6 and #8. But #7, (passenger side, in the back),.. I've unscrewed it all the way but I can't pluck it out like the others..... It was harder to unscrew than the others, yet I can see the threads now and they appear fine...... any ideas? I hate to have to screw it back again (assuming I can) not knowing if it is okay. I was told by ford that #7 fuel injector doesn't fire occasionally but I think I have found that is due to some burning/plastic melting on the UVCG and associated wires... which I will replace. So I'd like to get #7 glow plug out and replaced just in case. Any suggestions.....???

If you can see the threads and it still will not come out chances are the plug is still in one piece I would try in short turns to tighten and loosen the plug just go slow it might have a bunch of carbon built up on the tip and when you loosened it off it pulled into the glow plug hole jamming it up
good luck
