i would go to autozone or somewhere and they have this magnet that extends and is pretty thin its usually used for like if u drop a screw into the engine or something.. u can pull it out

if the end that is on the bottom of the new tubing is smooth then the old one should twist out with a bit of force no particular direction to pull off though just twisting

try using a mini magnet

SOURCE: How can I remove a lodged oil dip stick?

Go down about a inch on the tube and drill two small holes horizontally to fit a metal coat hanger thru. Put the hanger thru and wrap it tight. Next bring your hood down half way and wrap the other end of the hanger tightly around the hood latch. A couple of quick pushes up on the hood will pop the tube out. Dealer price to replace the dipstck about $15. To replace the tube about $40

Hi!!

the dipstick tube is fasten by a bolt either at the bottom or in the middle of the tube, if it was at the middle, I don't think it would have broken. Look at the base of the dipstick tube where it goes into the engine block, there should be a bolt, use a 10 mm. socket and a long extension to remove it., then pull the tube out.

I believe the dipstick tube is bent, that's why the dipstick can't go all the way into the oil pan.

Good Luck!! Don't forget.to rate this post!!
