When going for a stubborn fastener that where breaking is a concern,
specifically the glow plug. I would remove nut and buss bar. Then, I would use a box
wrench (preferably a six point) on the plug. I would link another box end of
somewhat larger size into the open end for better leverage. Then, while
applying some pressure to the outer wrench (not reefing on it), I use a third
wrench of medium size to tap in the middle of the wrench that is boxed around the
plug. Don't tap really hard, just repeatedly. It is a poor man's impact
wrench. Val made a good point that ice cold is more brittle. The sender of this
email assumes no liability for the information contained (or broken plugs).
Good luck.
