Sorry for the confusion. I used the puller kit first to remove the 3 of them that I broke that were spinning just like yours. Two of them came out like a breeze w/ no damage to the existing threads. The last one was further back and under the cab which reduced my available workspace (see picture) and I didn’t realize my drilling angle was off until I had already drilled into the head which damaged the existing threads. Only then did I have to buy the thread repair kit to drill/tap/insert new threads.
I hope that clears it.

Good job getting them pulled. I'll buy the puller kit and go from there. Facebook marketplace probably doesn't charge a fee like eBay so I'll get it there as long as it can ship to Idaho. Thanks for reaching out.

Sounds great and I'm looking forward to hearing that you also got your broken glow plugs out! I can get the kit shipped as soon as today.

Hello,
I’m looking for any recommendations on a glow plug remover/extractor that any of you may have had experience with. I’m looking for something More high end , geared more toward the eco diesel if that exists (or is even necessary). I’m working on plug #4. It looks like the kits on amazon that are similarly priced are basically the same thing and the reviews are mixed at best. Anyone had the same headache I’m currently having?

I’m new to this forum and am a 24 year Ram tech. I have a 90 percent success rate removing these glow plugs while the engine is scalding hot and running. Sounds sketchy but it works. A lot of the time anyways. I’m just getting into the extraction idea.

This is an interesting idea that 100% makes sense although I am certain I would have scars LOL.
