Hoping someone can help with the "Top Secret" process of removing the oil tube. I trashed 2 so far in a wrecking yard with no luck. Even offered to pay for the yard to pull one for me and was told that "cant do it without wrecking the tube". I tried searching for an aftermarket part# with no success there either.

If anyone has an extra tube lying around I would be more than happy to be its new owner.

What is the secret?? There are 2 (wrecking yard) opportunities to score one if i can get them out without trashing them.

Any help would be great.

 

The dipstick tube?


try youtube.

I hear its by luck if you can squirt some PB blaster and wiggle it out.


If not, Ive seen people go from the bottom and tap them out

 

Is it different than the v8? All I did was hose mine down with penetrating oil, undo the securing nut, and started with a bit of twisting. After I was able to twist the bracket off the stud, I had to pull it in exactly the opposite direction that it faces into the block (at an angle). They don't seem to like bending at all.

 

Ok now I remember what I did... My 2.8 one came right out.

my 3.4 came broken, so I turned the motor over and used a punch from the bottom to lightly tap it out. put lots ofPB blaster (actually WD40 at the time) and slid the 2.8 right in. .
