tsotnek is on a distinguished road
e53 diesel glow plug stuck.

Hello,

So basically my glow plug's screwing mechanism has broken off and only the filament remains in the glow plug's place. It is impossible to remove it I have tried with spraying tons of penetrating oils and using pliers. I have tried to remove it while the engine was very hot but it still won't come out.

Anybody know any ways to remove such filament that's stuck like that?

P.S. Please see the pictures. https://imgur.com/a/nga2Dyi

Duplicate thread... already answered. In addition to previous suggestions, how about trying some large blind-rivet pliers!
