1997 f350 snapped glow plug

[nunan]

hey guys,

 

i need some suggestions. one of my drivers tried changing his glow plugs on his f350, and ended up snapping one of the old plugs. All of the old ones had a shit load of carbon on the tip, so i'm guessing the tip got stuck past the cylinder. all that is left is the tip that pokes through the head, and the wire core that goes through the center of the plug. any ideas on a way to loosen it up to pull it out and replace it? or am i going to have to pull the head and remove it that way? any help would be awesome. thanks

Vise grips and carb cleaner, if it's carbon. Work it back and forth gently..

i gave it a shot. the center conductor came out of the tip..so now the head has to come out. lucky me.
