Sykes Pickavant GO471 Glow Plug Removal Basic Kit is a professional solution for extracting broken or seized diesel glow plugs without removing the cylinder head. Developed by Govoni for modern diesel engines, the kit provides the core tooling needed to drill, tap and extract damaged glow plugs in a controlled, step-by-step process. It is designed to work in conjunction with dedicated size modules for popular thread sizes such as M8, M9 and M10, enabling precise alignment and thread restoration for each application. By allowing in-situ repairs, the GO471 significantly reduces intervention time and cost compared to head removal, while helping technicians restore the glow plug seat and threads to a standard suitable for fitting new plugs. The kit also supports use of a slide hammer and specialist pick-up tools to remove fragments and deposits safely. Ideal for diesel specialists and general workshops facing frequent glow plug failures on modern passenger cars and light commercials.
Additional Information
The pre-heating glow plug used in diesel engines can often get stuck inside the engine head due to residues caused by the combustion process. In these cases, the glow plug will break when you try to remove it; consequently, you will have to disassemble the head in order to remove it. This job can be time consuming and very costly
Govoni specialises in the extraction of broken or stuck glow plugs and allows the operator to carry out rapid and efficient extraction steps by using its highly professional equipment
The equipment allows you to: reduce intervention time and costs, extract and restore the thread in order to mount the new glow plug to a professional standard
