    With the engine "stone cold," disconnect battery, remove valve cover, disconnect glow plug connector, remove glow plug with a 10 mm deep socket, install new glow plug (torque to 13 ft.-lbs.), and reattach connector. After finishing the remaining 3 glow plugs on that bank, clean valve cover, install new gasket, and reinstall valve cover( torque to 97 in.-lbs.). Do the same thing for the other bank of glow plugs and reconnect battery. Not a difficult job--should take several hours
