Sheared dipstick tube

[jdbubb at verizon.net (Dan Bubb)]

You need to pull the oil pan, if you haven't already, and hammer the remaining part of the tube out with a punch from the inside.
Installation of a new tube is by the hammer method also. You need to be careful to not damage the new tube as you do this. (at least in my experience).
