I dont know for sure if the body ever moved, but all the threaded top is out, with the center wire attached to it - so i now have a hollow plug stuck.
I filled up the recess with plusgas last night, and had a look a few hours later, and there was no noticable change in level, but at least i can leave it like that a while to soak.
My plan is to tap the hollow section, screw in a set screw, with a bolt on its thread, and then work them against each other (and the head) to, i hope, pull out the body of the glow plug.
Ill saw through one of the other plugs to take measurements, but, in the mean time, does anyone know the right tap to use, so as i can order it, and a few either side of that, in preparation?
Thanks
