4. INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. With reference to the replacement plug, find the matching
drilling guide and screw into the glow plug port.
4.2. Determine the length of the broken portion as in fig.2.
4.3. Place the appropriate drill (2.5mm for M8, 3.3mm for M10) in a
power drill and, using the drill guide (fig.1.1),drill into the broken
element to a depth of approximately 10mm if the broken stub is
long enough (fig.3).
4.4. Remove the drilling guide and replace with the correct extraction
adaptor (fig.1.4). Fit the appropriate tap (M3 for M8 adaptor, M4
for M10 adaptor) into a tap holder and, using the extraction
adaptor, tap into the electrode. Turn the tap back by a quarter
turn every revolution to clear the swarf from the cutter (fig.4).
4.5. Once the thread is formed in the broken element, remove the
tap and screw the appropriate threaded rod, through the
extraction adaptor, into the element.
4.6. Run the correct extractor nut down the threaded rod until it
makes contact with the extraction adaptor. Turn the nut gently
with a spanner until the broken portion comes free (fig.5).
4.7. Unscrew the extraction adaptor carefully and remove, along with
the threaded rod and element tip. As the broken tip is drawn to
the top of the port, brush or blow any swarf clear to reduce the
risk of debris entering the cylinder.,
4.8. Examine the tip to ensure that no debris is left in the glow plug
port before fitting the replacement plug..
