If you are doing it thru the glow plug hole you need to remove all the metal
injector lines and cover the ip with a rag or something to keep fuel from

very difficult time getting the wire retaining nut off the gp without
having the wire rotate with the nut.
Pliers of some sort. Hold the lug while cracking the nut loose.
Also the center of the number two gp seems to be wobbly and loose
within the gp body. Do I need to replace this plug?

Hmm. A Silver Shadow is pretty heavy even for a strong OM603.

I'm betting on a Fuel or air delivery problem, likely time to replace fuel
filters or air filter. Could also be a fuel leak. Carefully examine all fuel

Hmmm. Never thought of that. We have what we affectionately call rot rods
though. The more they rust, the lighter they are so the faster they go.

So I mispoke- it was the number three plug but that doesn't matter. The tip of
the plug looked fine. The engine is now stone cold. I understand a compression
test should be done on a warm engine. Should it really make a significant
difference?

You're mostly looking for the delta between cylinders, so absolute
pressures don't matter. Therefore, yes - do it cold. If you need to compare
your readings to the minimums in the manual, yes, you need to do it warm.
I always did mine cold.
There is a spec for how much the lowest cylinder can be
