Default Replacing injectors

Ok I am replacing the injectors in my 1995 ford F250 7.3 powerstroke. I removed all injectors on my passenger side and am looking for some wisdom on removing fluid in the cylinders. I know that people suggest removing the glow plugs and turning the truck over and blow the fluid out. The problem I have is that the glow plug closest to the firewall is is stuck. It makes a squeeking sound when it turns and is very difficult to turn. I took the rocker arm off so I could remove the stubborn plug and I am afraid to break the plug off. I I get to the end of the threads and it still won't budge. I don't really need the glow plugs too much since I only drive the turck to pull my horse trailer in the summer or can plug it in if I need to do some small job in the winter. the question I have is can I just leave that injector out and crank over the moter to blow out the fluid or will I need buy a vacume pump. I will fix the plug at some point but I can't tackle that problem right now. any advice would be great.

Just make sure you unplug all the injectors and pull fuse 22 I believe you should be fine to crank it over with the injector out. You will want to put the valve cover back on loosely though, it will squirt oil out pretty good.

That is how I have done it and it worked fine for me.
