Yes. Disconnect the battery. Slip the belt off the alternator, and remove the alternator and the rear support bracket. #1 is just behind and beneath it. It is easy to get to with the alternator removed. |

Try to access it before you remove the alternator. I easily did mine with the alternator in there. I did need long pliers to remove the wire initially. |

Important! Be sure and soak it real good overnight with a very good penetrating oil like Kano's Kroil oil, PB Blaster, or CRC Freeze-Off Super Penetrant.  Most also recommend having the engine warm before attempting to unscrew the glow plug.  Best of luck! |

just remove the rear alternator bracket, 3 bolts, and you should be able to replace it. Trickiest part I think was getting the plug wire back on the new one, but #1 glow plug is a walk in the part compared to #3, consider yourself lucky. |

Take care when pulling the wire connector from the glow plug. Due to the heat and age the hard black insulation on top that looks like a button broke off on my nr. 3 wire connector when I tried to unplug it. The glow plug harness is quite expensive. I could probably have used it like that but it took so much effort to get in there that I replaced it, rather than having to deal with an electrical issue down the road. |
