Hi
One of the three methods: Sometimes they just self thread and come out on
their own OK. Sometimes you will need to use the swelled glow plug
extraction tools. Sometimes you have to pull the head on the engine to get
it out and clean out the pieces from the combustion chamber.

Although it hasn't happened to me yet, I want to be prepared when it
does. How does one remove a swelled head glow plug from the block if it
won't draw through the hole?
