In need of some advice (oil dipstick)

[89foxrod]

I'm Installing long tube headers and have to remove the dipstick & tube. Well the tube broke off right at the block. Any ideas how to remove the remaining portion without removing the engine.:cussing:

**** Shane sorry to hear bout this. Is there any part at all sticking up out of the block? If so lock a piar of channel locks onto it/

[89foxrod]

No, it broke off flush. I might try an easy out or a reverse drill bit. Unless someone has any other ideas.

That sucks, sorry to hear Shane.:thumbsdown1: I was going to say try an easy out, but you already know that trick.:yes1:

Not sure if it will work but try a magnet

Can you get a bolt to thread down in there? the dipstick metal is soft so the bolt will bite in pretty good then pull the bolt with vice grips :)

[89foxrod]

Good idea. I think I'm gonna try that first. Thanks for the help.:thumbsup1:

[1985mustanggt50]

Np man.. been there twice with that.. dont ask how.. lol.. If you cant get it and need some help maybe yell at me

[89foxrod]

I'm gonna try it tomorrow. I'll let you know if I have any luck. Thanks for the offer, if I can't get it, I may take you up on it.

I use a hammer and chisel knock it into the pan and using my spiffy Snap-On bendy magnet and go through the oil drain plug and get the parts out. Easiesy way I've found.
