Dipstick tube removal

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.

As I figured it's just pressed in. Harder than a mother duck to get out but if your trying to replace yours keep walking the base in with a flat bar or flat screw driver till you dig enough to get under and start popping it up. Dont even waste your time trying to walk it like it did, even when the thing starts to come up it still wont budge. Just pry it up only.

As a side note aftermarket headers makes the jobs FAR easier.
