In prepping my OM617 to put into my 1982 Jeep Scrambler, I found my glow plugs were dead and upon removal found that one had a tip broken off in the pre-chamber. No amount of picking and praying would get it out, so I had to order the tools and take it out the proper way. In the video I said I got one of the tools from Peach Parts, but it was actually Pelican Parts. About $70 total for the tools. I had my own slide-hammer.

Apologies for using my phone for this video. For some of the two-handed parts of this job I had to put the camera down. Use your imagination. Sorry for the vertical pane at the end. I'm no Tavarish or Hoovie!

Hi, I removed my injectors and it seems that none of my pre chambers had the heat shield washer installed, the inside of the prechambers look exactly like yours on 4:31 I would like to ask you, is that without the heat shield washer or is that washer in there? Thank you!

Hi. One question. Isn't it possible to use the first tool that you are using to remove also the prechamber? It seems that the thread of the nut and the thread of the prechamber are similar. I would imagine to purchase only the first tool that you are using and adapt a slide hammer on it. Possible according to you? Thank you

Could you hear the tip of that glow plug while engine was running? was it making a tapping sound?

If the glowplug tip breaks off flush at its base, so the full length of the tip, will i be able to remove the prechamber?
