Glow Plug Aperture Cleaner
When glow plugs (diesel heater plugs) require replacing it is
best practice to properly clean out the glow plug aperture
within the cylinder head particularly around the area of the
glow plug heater element tip.
This tool has been designed to offer an adjustable cleaning
solution for M10 glow plug apertures for use where the
original glow plugs have been removed successfully,
This tool cannot be used to drill out or extract broken glow
plugs.
Instructions for use:
Cleaner Shaft
Depth Stop
1. Identify the appropriate threaded guide bush by
matching the threads to the new glow plug
2. Slide the depth stop onto the cleaning shaft followed by
the appropriate threaded guide
3. By comparing the length of the new glow plug to the
assembled tool, set the cleaner length so the tip of the
cleaner shaft matches the length of the glow plug and
tighten the grub screw on the depth stop.
Guide bushes
(M10x1.0 and
M10x1.25)
Instructions for use:
4. Ensure the glow plug aperture threads are clean and
free from debris before itting the threaded guide into
the aperture.
5. Slide the threaded guide off and screw it carefully into
the glow plug aperture.
6. Fill the lutes of the cleaning shaft with clean grease and
insert into through the threaded guide whilst turning the
shaft in a clockwise direction.
7. Continue to turn the cleaning shaft till the stop touches
the top of the threaded guide.
8. Continue turning the cleaner shaft in a clockwise
direction as the shaft is removed.
Note:
Whilst the use of grease on the cleaner shaft will help
any dirt and carbon to stick to the shaft it cannot be
guaranteed that carbon will not drop into the cylinder.
To help prevent this it is advised that the injectors be
removed and a suitable air adaptor itted so compressed
air can be forced into the cylinder which will in turn help
push any loose carbon deposits out of the glow plug
aperture.
X = the length from the
bottom of the glow plug
thread to the tip of the
glow plug.
