yes, just be gentle when undoing glow plugs, spray some Penetrene on them and hopefully it soaks in a bit. (if you cant get the Australian made Penetrene, then use a lessor product)
do it after a run so its nice and warm, spray them as the first thing you do.
a gentle little tap tap on the end of the socket, undo or rather feel if they start to move, tighten a bit, undo a bit, keep doing that, touchy touchy gently gently.
glow plugs can readily snap off for the un-aware, you then turn a relatively simple job into a mightmare.
the 2.4 also the glow plug wire at the front has a nut that wont undo readily but the plastic around it breaks, it also is prone to melting, if either happens replace the bolt/nut/plastic assembly with a male/female electrical connector that is suited for the gauge / amperage of the glow plug wire (bigger yellow or translucent yellow connectors)
