Need some advise! I broke the dip stick tube off from the side of the block! I have tried everything to get it out! Is there a way to get it out with out having to drop the oil pan?

Dip Stick Tube
I tried that as well! the old tube just spins in the hole! it is almost like it has a flare on the bottom of the tube preventing it from pulling out!Comment

Can you stick something through it that has a little hook on the end? In other words, go down through the tube, then snag it from inside the pan (or where it ends in the block).Originally posted by BLACK91 View PostComment

I tried that too! I think it is flared on the inside just a bit! I might have to drop the pan!Comment

OK. I just googled it, and a guy has a sure-fire method using a paint can opener (with a hook on the end). He says you can hook it and pull it out. Google "broken dipstick tube in a Mustang", and it should pop up. Even has pics.Originally posted by BLACK91 View PostComment

I have one of those little hook tools for when stuff like that happens. Kind of like a dentist pic, works great for prying little things out. It really comes in handy and one of the tools I use more often.Comment

Ive used a pilot bearing puller & slide hammer, The kind that expands as you tighten, also may try the hook attachment with slide hammer.Comment
