OEMs from Rock Auto are what I used. Here are a few tools you might want for the left bank.

Thanks man, seeing that makes me wonder what I'm getting in too... Will I have to remove the steering shaft?

No

I took the bolt out of my shaft and just moved it out of the way.

Remove the fender liner and go for it. I just happen to have alot of nice tools and experience using them. There's more than one way to skin a cat though. If you need it here are a couple more pics of the left bank.
#6 is the worst and you can see in 2 of the pics where I have the ratchet and small cheater on it for leverage.

I used Pensacola Diesels glow plugs, theyre made by Wellman. Seem to work really well. I changed all 8 as 6 were bad, lol.

All i needed was a flex head ratchet, extensions, a wrench, and of course sockets. I didnt disconnect my steering shaft, just used a 12mm wrench. Quite easy to do actually.

Just be very careful removing them, make sure you are on them straight! If not you could break one off in the head, and that is no fun.
