'94 7.3 IDI TURBO GLOWPLUGS
 
I just got done searching and haven't found anything for my specific question. I'm testing/replacing glow plugs on my truck and have run into a small road block... The turbo. Is there a trick to replacing them without removing the turbo? I'd really rather not if i don't have to.

deep 1/4 ratchet, and go nuts, no need to remove the turbo if you're talking about the glow plug on the passenger side for cylinder 5

That back plug under the turbo is a real pain to reach, but can be done without removing the turbo. Once I got it loose, I slipped a piece of rubber hose over the end of it that fit really snug and spun it out the rest of the way by spinning the hose. I installed the new one the same way.

Great ideas. now where exactly is this plate next to the harmonic balancer everyone keeps talking about?

The plate to hook up on the timing light?
