Chimney-sweep insert for glow plug changes
- Reamer removes contamination
- Good preparation for a long life
- Reamer set with extensive vehicle coverage
Before mechanics fit a new glow plug, they should first thoroughly clean the glow plug shaft. For this purpose, there is now a practical Glow Plug Reamer Set from tools specialist KS Tools from Heusenstamm. A large range of vehicles is covered by the included tools, so that the workshop professional is well equipped for most work on glow plugs. The Part Number of KS Tools is 152.1120.
The „Chimney Sweep Insert“ is essential for glow plug changes. Since stubborn carbon deposits can contaminate the glow plug shaft. These carbon deposits make dismantling and fitting difficult and can be the cause of leaks and incorrect function of the glow plug. The deposits can also lead to the overheating of a newly-installed glow plug. For this reason, the shaft should be thoroughly cleaned of all deposits after removal of the plug.
The ideal way to do this is with a suitable reamer. KS Tools has put together a set with very extensive vehicle coverage. Four threaded heads make the set multi-functional, three suitable reamers, a drive and a depth stop ensure accurate and precise work.
This tool allows the glow plug shaft, the seating and the heating element channel to be thoroughly cleaned. This in turn enables proper seating of the new plug and ensures its correct function. Especially following „baking on“ between glow plug and cylinder head, the combustion residues must be removed, since otherwise fitting of the new glow plug will be difficult and will carry the risk of premature failure. „With our reamer set, we wished to make life as easy as possible for the mechanic“, declares the KS Tools project management. „Since whoever uses this tool always has the right reamer at hand for the pending glow plug change. This means that he is equally prepared for the different glow plug threads and the different lengths of glow plugs and can concentrate fully on his work.“
