A Tool or Method??
So I have a Nitro MT...And through all the years I have wondered is there a tool out there that helps with putting the glow plug back in? Like a spark plug socket has the gasket in the bottom to hold onto the plug as you start your thread. Every wrench I look at dosent have anything like that and its always a pain to get the plug back in. I have resorted to keeping an old ez start wire and attaching to glow plug and starting thread that way. Then tighten with wrench.
Any Body know of anything? |
Piece of auto vacuum hose that'll go over the plug.
On my smaller, lighter nitros I just turn it upside down and use a socket and extension. |
A small piece of fuel tubing into the socket or a magnet will do the job. Somw glow plug wrench have a retaining clip or magnet.

a duratrax 5 way has retainer clips on theirs that hold the plug

Ok sweet...looks like I have to get a new wrench.
Yeah the hose and tubeing method is what I do now just never thought to fix it to the inside of the wrench. Thanks guys. |
you do not even have to turn it completely over to get the plug in just stand it up on one end. but heyt its not my money

Yeah my local HobbyTownUSA had the losi wrench in stock too...I am giving the magnet wrench a shot sence it was a few bucks cheaper.
Still in the middle of my winter clean and rebuild. Thanks again guys for all the great help |
Turn the truck upside down.. keeps the dirt out of the engine also..
