Glow plug help

Right in a world of hurt right now with this as all six have snapped Smile tried the drill and thread and plug no luck.

What are my options left.
Can I drill it all out and re tap thread or is it head off and is that a body off job?

You don’t have to remove the body.

The drivers head is much easier to remove, so you could make a start on that one.

There was a mobile service that used to offer removal of broken plugs, might be worth searching on here to find them, as Im sure someone had used them and got a good result... Must stop buying shiny toys....
