Your a dip stick!

How do you remove the dip stick tube? I have to replace my bent one and can get it off. I tryed wiggling, unscrewing it... and can get that sucker off? Any suggestions?

Grab it with some pliers and twist and pull up at the same time. It's just a press fit.

It's soft metal - so be easy on it.

Yeah, put some paper towels or a rag between the pliers and the tube.
