Mend Opel Vectra 2.0 DTI Engine

broken glow plugs?

vectra 2.0 dti relaced 2 glowplugs ok.
but the two middle ones are snapped above the thread .how do i get these out without taking the head to bits?

Not easily removed on these, if it starts ok, i would leave it as it is. Trying to remove it would mean drilling down in to it & using a stud extractor & then if you still can't get it out & you've drilled too far you may lose compression through the hole that you've drilled & debris may fall into the cylinder. Removing the cylinder head would be better if you really want it out.
