Okay so I know the dipstick tube has a mount bracket in the center of it connecting it to the block with a 10mm bolt however does the bottom have a bolt as well holding it in or is it just pressed in only? Removing the inspection plate is proving to be a serious pain for me due to lack of clearance for wrenches.
Trying to wrestle this thing out here soon but it's hard especially since I cant even twist the base since it's so long and too many bends.
