Each 85mm socket fits deep-set glow plugs, the universal joint helps align awkward angles and the 145mm T-bar extension gives the leverage needed to loosen seized or fractured plugs without damaging the cylinder head. Built from hardened alloy, the set is made for repeated workshop use and can be operated by hand, wrench or ratchet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this set make broken glow plug removal easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe long sockets and dedicated extractor profile reach recessed glow plugs and allow you to spin or pull without crushing the plug body.
