They can swell up and stick in there. Oddly enough I live near the Texas coast and have found that I needed them a few times over the years in that I was parked for long periods outside where I could not plug the crank case heater in.

I've done the mod, it works just fine. I have a momentary contact switch under the dash & I only use it in the mornings when I first crank up.
Turn the key on & hit the switch & she fires right up.
The glow plugs don't really swell as much as become sooted up, this makes them hard to remove. The GP's will do this anyway if you have the mod or not.
