I see the dipstick tube is pressed in to the block, is there a way to get this out without destroying it? Twist it while pulling out or? I tried a mild twist but it only seemed to want to stay in place.

The only thing that I would add is too put a punch or whatever fits inside the tube from inside the block to stop any collapsing of the tube

Just did this before reading these.
I tried a punch - no dice.
I hit the base with a torch then had to use vice grips. Yes it definitely leaves marks and dents, i guess thats why these are still available. Ordering a replacement in due course. Thanks.
