I was having some cold weather starting issues and found that 2 of the 4 on the drivers side where not working.... anyway got a set from Kennedy and put 6 of the 8 on. The two that I havn't are right under the turbo, I think I can get to them but they have orange wires going to them and the wire doesn't want to pull off very easy For fear of tearing something up I thought I would ask for any tricks or special procedures ???

DON'T PULL ON THE WIRE!
Take a metal coat hanger, and bend a small hook in the end of it. Slip the hook under the CONNECTOR, and pull it off the glow plug. Removing the inner fenderwell gives you greater access.
Check the continuity of the wires while you have them off. The four glow plug wires on each side are crimped to one large orange wire. I had two that weren't making contact. Strip, solder and seal the repair - DONE

I think you can get better access by pulling off your wheel, carefully remove the rubber skirt and get at them from below through the wheel well, at least I think that is how I did it on mine been a while since I did it.

spray some pb blaster or some other penetrant in there and that will help loosen the conncetor.
