[Vwdiesel] What is the candle wax GP extraction trick ?

[cass]

i did this on a stuck and beginning to break glow plug.
had sprayed it for days with liquid wrench
to no avail.
then took a propane torch..
(everything elts on head was removed)
and heated the area enuff to draw wax in
along threads..
when still warm..gently tapped wrench one way then the other..back n fourth.
left right.. tapped twice left..once right..
till i felt it give a little.

finally out.
had to do this to two gp's 
both stuck..both the 'nut' was beginning to turn and glow plug not
( beginning to break)

worked for me.
i may have been lucky.
have used wax many times.
with a little heat.
always seems to work.
but maybe its the heat..and the time i take..not the wax?
dunno.

cassie.
from the wet rusty algae infested  west coast
( where the snow drops n 
 crocuses and irises are up :oD  )
