I'm not sure if number seven is correct. It will work with glow plugs that are 8mm or 10mm in diameter in the 3l.

When the blow mold case arrived, it was open, and the pieces were strewn about inside the shipping box. There's no need to be concerned. I'm a Master Certified Automotive Technician who specializes in Mercedes Benz vehicles, such as Sprinters. On an old OM647 Sprinter, the glow plug in cyl2 blew out. We were in a bind, so I ordered this kit because of its low price and availability the next day. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that the provided puller mandrels were 6 MM X 1. The glow plug tube had a 1/4-inch thread, but the tap used to run it down was a 0 thread. SAE thread with a diameter of 28 NF. I'd already set the broken tube to number six. 0 MM X 1. 0 the day before, so I used the provided mandrel to extract the tube, but it pulled right out due to insufficient thread depth (bite). I then made my own puller mandrel from two socket head cap screws. a single 8 MM X 1 25 mm and 1/4" 28 NF. I removed the head of the 1/4 inch screen, pressed it into the hex socket head of the 8 MM screw, and welded it together (shown). The 1/4 tap was then inserted as far as it would go into the tube. The task was completed, but the tube broke into three pieces, so I had to repeat the procedure a few times. br>br>It worked for me, but I've worked in the automotive and fabrication industries for over 35 years. Most of the pieces in the kit are useless (at least for my Mercedes application), so I wouldn't recommend buying it if you're a DIYer. You'll probably get better results if you spend more money on a better, application-specific kit.
The outside diameter should be 5 or 7 mm. As a result, the tap and drill included in this set will not work with these glow plugs; I tried it without thinking it through and ended up with a plug that was stuck worse than ever because the drill and tap chewed up the plug's barrel too much. The threads were simply stripped away by the puller. I think the tool is a great idea, and I can see how it would work well on a different engine.
First, as a few of us had experienced, when we received the box from Amazon, the case burst open, spilling everything inside. One small drill bit was missing, which I had to reassemble because the small pieces on the inside, including the small wire that holds them in, had come out of the shipping box. I also had to reassemble the tap extension because the small pieces on the inside, including the small wire that holds them in, had come out. The tools should then be sheeted or labeled; I had to guess what size the step bits were, so I started with the smallest and quickly realized that I needed to go larger. The step bit worked fine; just take your time and keep it straight before removing the lower section and re tapping the old threads to remove all of them; I found that using a small pick tool and an air gun worked well. The small drill bit needs to be longer; with my head in this position, I could barely get down into the glow plug. Fortunately, the glow plug came out when I tapped the lower section, and it was easy to remove.
When used as directed and with extra care to recognize that you are extracting a stuck piece of steel, commercial use is a great option. This tool requires finesse; if you're an ogre, don't use it. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the extractor form more D-friendly. maximum cylinder head, and only sell for D-.
The tap driver handle kept falling out, the mandrel for the puller is too short, so only a few threads catch and strip out, and the tap sizes were incorrect. The stepped drill bit and the actual pulling press were the only things that worked properly. In addition, there were no instructions included with the kit; instead, I had to watch a YouTube video.
Metal is of poor quality, or at the very least not of high quality. I've always used drill bits. br>When I was trying to remove a stuck glow plug, the thin part of the drill bit tip broke inside the cylinder head. That broken tip cost me $8000 in parts and labor because I had to replace the cylinder head and other related parts.
The drill bits included in the kit, contrary to other reviews, work fine; they tap the glow plugs but never remove them. Before removing the engine, it was tried running. No luck. It didn't work to get the plugs out.
Everything was in its place, and the tools were of excellent quality and functioned flawlessly.
