Hello,

Start with the engine warm not hot. Spray WD40 around the glow plugs and let them sit for at least an hour. Then crank them loose two turns then go back in 1 turn continue to do this until they are completely loose.

Here are some diagrams of how the job is done (below)

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken
