Oil Dip-stick tube FUBARED

Long story short, In the process of putting back my exhaust manifold I twisted the oil dipstick tube. Now it looks like the letter "S". How does that come off?
Is there anyway to take that out and replace it with one from another camaro.
I was told that part can only be ordered from the dealership. Any help is appreciated.

Re: Oil Dip-stick tube FUBARED

Most of the time they are just press fit dipsticks in the chevy small blocks. Just follow it down to the base to see where it connects. If you see no bolts, then use some vice grips and twist and pull...
As far as getting another dipstick for it, they are normally super easy to find. Hit up Summit Racing and im sure you can get it for dirt cheap.
