How to remove dipstick tube

I have a 1982 S/E with the lg4 and the dipstick is broke off in the tube. I have no clue how it comes out or where to even start looking.

The dip-stick tube just pulls out of the block. It is a light press fit.

If it's broke off and there's nothing to grab hold of, knock it out with a punch from below. Just a piece of rod stock will do fine.
