One thing I've found thats handy for cleaning out glow plug holes on
some diesels ( hadn't tried it on a benz yet, it would be a bit trickier
than on my diesel ford truck:-) is a .22 cal wire gun brush on a pistol
cleaning rod ( the rod would be a no go on the back couple of holes on
the benz , but I bet somebody could figure something out ) spray the
brush down with aero kroil ( or other penetrating oil ) to lube it and
help cut the crud and run it in and out a few times.
It does a prety nice job of cleaning the carbon buildup off.
It cost about $7 all together

I suspect Randy would need a reamer with guide threads the size of the
threads on a loop plug. The reamers I've seen were sized for pencil plugs.
There are reamers for loop plugs and for pencil plugs. All you need is a
reamer that is slightly larger than the plug (but not so big that it
damages the prechamber or prechamber pin). Reaming when replacing loop
plugs is considered MUCH more critical than when replacing pencil plugs
unless the pencil plugs don't come out easily.
