Glow Plug Removal

Our custom made equipment provides the flexibility to perform glow plug removal on almost all makes of vehicles.

​

A glow plug is a cylindrical shaped metallic part with a heating element at the tip that are used in motor vehicles to aid the starting of diesel engines.

​

Sharp Autos now offer a complete glow plug removal service.

​

Stuck or broken glow plugs can be caused by carbon build up around the shaft, or thread bind between aluminum heads and glow plug threads.

​

Modern glow plugs are of a much thinner design to those in older diesel vehicles and allows for a much quicker heat up time.  

It does, however, mean the tip is very weak and can easily break when removed but is overcome by our custom equipment.
