Glow Plug Aperature
Cleaner | Reamer Set

Set for M8 | M10 | M12 Glow Plugs
Instructions

This special tool has been designed
to ream out and clean the bore
of the glow plug aperture and the
sealing seat, after removing an old
| damaged glow plug and before
fitting the new replacement.

One of the main reasons that glow
plugs seize in the aperture is carbon
entering the glow plug bore. The tool
screws into the glow plug thread
and reams out any unwanted carbon
from within the bore. At the same
time it cleans the sealing seat, ready
for the new glow plug.

Before you start:

• We strongly recommend that the cylinder
head is removed from the engine before
work is commenced.

• If cylinder head is to be left in situ, then
remove the relevant injector and connect
an air-line via a suitable adaptor to ensure
metal swarf and dirt | carbon cannot enter
the combustion chamber.

• Maintain tools in a good and clean condition.

• Keep well lubricated. Lubricate cleaning
reamers with thick machine oil or grease.
This will also help to contain the metal swarf
and carbon.

• Where correct eye protection, particularly
when cleaning any swarf away from engine.

• When finished, account for all tools and
parts being used. Do not leave them in or
near the engine. Return all parts to the case
and store in a safe, dry place.
