Sealey Damaged Glow Plug and Heater Element Removal Tool Kit

The Sealey VS3156 Damaged Glow Plug and Heater Element Removal Tool Kit is a specialist extraction kit designed to remove broken or seized glow plugs and heater elements without the need to remove the cylinder head. Broken glow plug elements are a common problem encountered during routine glow plug replacement, particularly on older diesel engines where corrosion causes the element to shear off inside the head. This kit tackles the problem directly, using a drill-and-tap method to cut a new thread into the broken element, allowing the supplied adaptors to grip and extract the damaged component safely and efficiently. The kit covers the most commonly encountered thread sizes, with drilling and tapping guides, extraction adaptors, taps, and threaded rods included for M8 x 1mm and M10 x 1mm glow plug applications, as well as M10 x 1.25mm. Centring guides and precision drill bits are also included to ensure accurate alignment during the drilling stage, reducing the risk of further damage to the cylinder head. Suitable for automotive technicians, diesel specialists, and garage workshops, the kit is supplied in a fitted storage case to keep all components organised and ready for use.
