so i changed my oil today and tried to put the dipstick back in...instead it kept hittin the block, the tube broke off flush at the hole of the block. is there a way to get the broke piece out without removing the pan? now checking the oil is a 2 person job as i have to push the tube above the hole while someone runs the dipstick LOL

 

You might be able to get a sharp object in there, and pry it over enough so you can grab it with needle nose pliers, or some such. Or, screw a bolt into it, and yank/pry on that. Has worked for me in the past.

 

cool thanx Hey You, was thinkin about puttin a little weld on there too with some 1/16 rod but if it ever broke i probably just create a bigger problem with weld on there
