OK guys do i need a $50 Injector socket? I thought i read the OPS sockets works, that one i have. Or a 300 deep well impact socket, that i have access to. How about the glow plug socket ?

Any other tools i need for hte job ?

I used a 30mm deep well impact socket without any problems for the injectors. I think it was a 10mm deep well for the glow plugs.

That is the only concern I've heard about using a 30mm socket, is the possible damage to the return line barbs. I bought an OTC (I think that's the brand) socket from delcodiesel when I bought my injectors and glowplugs.

Glow plugs is just a 10mm deep socket.
