Hey All,

Accidently broke off my dipstick.......Now I have to remove the dipstick tube. I removed the bolt which attaches the tube and gave a good yank, but it didn't come loose. Am I doing something wrong or do I just need to pull harder for the tube to come loose from the block?

Thanks,

They are a real bear, sometimes you have to mammer them out from the bottom-you hope not. Use vise grips and try twisting a LITTLE as you pull.
