Which line is the in-line and return line on a OM602?

OK yeah you want to ensure it's getting fuel first.
You can always plug the block heater in to assist cold staring as you work to straighten things out.
Yeah you might as well get glow plugs done before it gets colder, BOSCH or BERU. Unless your a masochist removing the intake makes it easier. You'll need replacement gaskets at the cross over pipe and an intake gasket.
Once you get that out of the way and you've disconnected the wiring loom from the relay spray the 8mm nuts on the glow plugs with penetrant, grasp the wire terminal itself with a pair of large long needle nosed pliers and then you can put a socket on the terminal nut. That will prevent you from damaging the wire-to-terminal connection and keep the nut "captured" onto the terminal like it is designed to be. Take your time and be thoughtful to prevent causing any damage that will then need to be addressed and repaired if you don't!
Having the engine at running temp before you start the glow plug R&R makes this easier as well. Penetrant on the GPs can never hurt.The GPs are 12mm, I try to break them free with a box wrench and then use a medium deep socket with a swivel to back them all the way out. Ream the holes and install the new GPs, I use a bit of Permatex Never-Seize on their threads
