<VV> Dipstick tube replacement

[Charles Lee]

Just do NOT dent the lower end of the tube or it will be even harder to push it out?

One of mine just twisted out the top, and I never did get the other one out (that was too short - used in a dune buggy?), just added another piece of tube to extend it to the correct length!

I would just tap it up from the bottom as long as it was still poking a 
distance into the pan area. Might need to make a punch the right diameter.

What have you tried already?
