Dipstick tube has snapped right at the block 
Can i get the stub out??
What about using one of those crappy stud extractors??
Or is there some kind of minature puller thingy?
Will i be losing oil pressure?
How this has happened i don't know
Last resort = Welding??????
Need advice!

it should pull out but I find they are normally wee bastards.
proper way is sump off tap it up and out.
The extractor might work, as woudl a screwdriver hammered down the side to try and lever it up and out, danger of it droppign into the sump though. |
