What is the easiest way to remove the glow plugs on the passenger side?
Thanks

Some may dissagree but I think it is easier to remove the inner fender because then they are right there, the fender takes mabey 10 min to remove and will make getting to the plugs much easier.

Removing the glow plug heat shields also makes the job much easier.

I get the front and rear ones from the top. For the middle ones I use a quarter inch drive long extension with a deep socket after removing the heat shields and mud flap. Use plenty of antiseize on the heatshield nuts to make next time much easier. It's really quite simple once you figure out the correct tools to use.

Should I put anti seize on the new glow plugs?

Yes on anti seize, di-electric grease works well, I removed the rubber inner flap to pull my pass side glows
