[Vwdiesel] 5th glow plug access?

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  I've done it once or twice.  As I recall there's no choice but 
to remove the injector lines.  It MIGHT be possible without
doing it but you'll save a ton of scratches, gouges and time!
  Deep offset box end wrenches sometimes make a difference 
too.  
  To put the nut back on you'll need a piece of wire or a small 
screwdriver.  Put the nut back up it a bit, hold it there.  Put the 
end of the wire or screwdriver against the stud and let the nut go.  
Now you spin the nut until it grabs, remove the wire/screwdriver 
and tighten. (Don't forget the buss bar though!)
