Easy removal of glowplugs?
#1
One of my glow plugs is defect, so they need to be changed. I have a A13DTE engine and there is a step by step guide here on how to change them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onMmIltMokQ&t=637s 

However this is quit intricate process by removing turbo and DSP, one or two comments on this video claims that all glow plugs can be removed by using a glow plug removal socket set and only removing the oil feeder and heatshield. 
Like this: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282975441040

Have someone done this before and can confirm this is possible? Would be way easier to just buy such a set and remove them without to much trouble.


Cheers!

Looking at the video you only need a normal deep 10mm socket which is what I used on my Astra H 1.9, plugs look the same and I had no trouble, don't tighten them like the idiot on that video way too tight, they only need to be done gently, really to a specified torque.

I used a £5.72 Draper expert Hitorq 10mm deep socket here
