I'm feeling really humbled and stupid right about now, like I'm missing something obvious. Anybody else ever have trouble removing the oil dipstick tube?

Did you unbolt it?
LOL, I do those things some times, but this time I'm puzzled. The 15mm on the head, yes I removed it. I actually figured I should have mentioned that. Nevertheless, thank you.
I broke the thing already since it was stuck so damn good in the block. I figured it should have just pulled out after removing that bolt, right?

They just get stuck over time. Mine broke too, so don't feel bad. They are a crappy design.Quote:

The dipstick tube, unbolt it, twist the tube and pull and it comes right out if you disassemble your engine every 10k miles like me. :laugh:
Thanks guys. I hate braking something, and then thinking about how it was really supposed to come out. That is a crappy design.
I don't think the trans stick tube ever gave me any problems... but the clip-in lines, they're another episode.
To clear any curiousity, I'm working on installing pacesetters.:haw:
its bolted by the header 15mm after you unbolt it pull like hellQuote:

If you break it...just silicone the hell out of and stick it back on. The 15mm bolt will help the silicone to set.
