Dipstick tube has snapped right at the block Mad

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.
