Special Tools For Removing Glowplugs For Xantia

[alan james]

I can see how you change the glowplugs, but could do with a really long socket set, to get down between the pipes and other things in the way. Is there a special tool that can easily remove the nut and glowplug?

If so, where and how much? Cheers

The tool you are looking for is called an 'offset' ring spanner. This will allow you acces to the glowplug situated behind the pump. Without one its very very difficult to replace all four plugs, with, relatively simple.

 

You may also find it useful to place a magnet close to the glowplug when you undo the nut which secures the link wire.
