the glowplug clicked like the rest did, but still no room to tap out no room barley to remove with a 12mm wrench. i have also tried putting a bar around the top and pulling while somone loosens the plug, with no use catching any thread.i am open for any suggestions to removing this plug.

The glow plugs are usually stuck inside the head due to carbon build up. I use a pair of ring nose pliers to pull the plug out after loosening all the way out.
