If You need to remove the glow plugs from a Ford Transit mark 7 You will need to follow a few steps to make sure that they come out in one piece and do not break. Glow plugs are fragile and have been known to break in vehicles if they are handled too roughly. The first thing that You will want to do is use synthetic oil on the glow plugs as You slightly loosen them to allow it to loosen up the threads. I recommend that You also run the engine until it is warm and up to operating temperature to help expand the glow plug threads. Turn the engine off once it has gotten to temperature and use a manual wrench to remove them. Be gentle and make sure to not twist or torque them. If they are too hard to remove use more lubrication.
