Finally got around to the last two glow plugs, the last one of course drivers side rear cylinder was the worst. I had 4 out of 8 swollen and thankfully I ordered the JJ&A glow plug tool, but it was still a nightmare being a contortionist.
Anyway, I get the last one out and the tool and glowplug fall to the ground under the humvee. Do I bother to look? No I put the last new glow plug in and figure I'll get the wrench and the tool and glowplug after I start and move the vehicle. Starts in about 5-6 seconds of cranking, just enjoying it idling, then all of a sudden knocking like crazy! I shut it off thinking it has to do with the glow plug I just removed, sure enough, a good 1/4 inch or more is missing from the plug. What is the best way to get this out of the cylinder, do I have to remove the head for retrieval?
