I believe you can also check the resistance with a multimeter.

 Before you go do all that work and expense test the glow plugs. Use a digital 
laser thermometer and with a cold engine activate the glow plugs. Maybe even do 
it twice. Aim the laser thermometer at each glow plug. If you see any temp rise 
that glow plug is working. Glow plugs are 100% or 0% working. there is no 
inbetween. For $20. at Amazon.

the manual they appear to be on the starboard side and the engine is only
