Hi Kaleb,
After my 1st replacement of GPs on my 2.5 I decided to find a way to do it
easier. I bought some extra long ball-end allen wrenches that did the
trick. Was able to reach all the bolts and break them loose easily. I
removed the manifold because I find it easier that way. It took me about 2
hours total from start to finish last time I replaced all 5 GPs. Made life
much easier and I'm getting better & faster each time I try it..
I bought the tools at http://www.wihatools.com/

Subject: [MBZ] fun replacing bad glow plugs in 2.5 turbo
Have 2 bad plugs in the 2.5, decided to replace those today, am trying
to do it without removing the manifold. The bad plugs are # 2 and 3. I
did remove the crossover pipe, and the first 3 injector lines. Finally
got #2 replaced. Tomorrow will try and get #3 done. It looks harder.
