Oil Dip Stick Tube

Anybody out there have difficulty in removing the oil dip stick tube ? Man..they should pull right out, but I'm having a heck of a time. I guess I'll try some vise grips on the tube next to the block and try twisting it back and forth. My stock tube doesn't want to mount up with my headers, so I'm going to go with a flexible tube.

i had to knock mine out from the underside through the oil pan to get it out...you might be able to just bend your stock tube out of the way
