There is a factsheet about this on the members' site.
Its very informative and thorough.

Sorry for time delay but I seldom read these forums. I too had a bolt snap on the gear shift plate when I tried the Fact Sheet way, but quit whilst I was ahead after only one. the glowplugs can all be renewed without removal of anything apart from the buz bar and judicious juggling of the electrical / plumming that gets in the way, a small socket set is essential as is patience.
