Quick bit of info.
Was clearing bench and was about to chuck away a high resistance FL1 glow plug.
Before I did so I clamped the thread firmly in the vice and fitted a 10mm long reach socket and torque wrench.
By gradually increasing the torque setting I conclude that the plug fractures at just over 30 ft lb.
May be helpful if you have a seized plug!!
