The one under the turbo is a real pain.
I use a pair of bent nose needle nose pliers to remove the electrical connection.
Then a wrench to loosen the glow plug.
Then a piece of fuel line over the top of the glow plug to turn it out and pull it out.
New one goes back in with fuel line also.
The ones more toward the front I am assuming the fuel injection lines are causing you problems.
1/4" drive socket and extension between the injection lines.
You can remove the vibration clamps on the injection lines so they can be moved slightly, but don't bend them and do replace the clamps when you are done or the lines will crack down the road from vibration.
