Thats one reason the other side is easier
.
Pull the dipstick up VERY firmly and it should release....it is a friction/o-ring fit. Do not lift the dipstick and tube any higher than absolutely necessary, or you may have a
time getting it back in the blind hole.
If after a concerted effort you cannot get it free, some people have trimmed down the stud a bit with a dremel to allow it to just lift a few threads and then slide off.

I used a Side Cutters to cut a slot in the Dipstick Bracket allowing it to slide sideways out of the way.

Yes that is what I did. Cut a notch and moved it aside. Bad news though. Old tensioners are still there. The secondary tensioner looked in tact but I had a good look at the guides and one is split all the way through already. No need to look at the other side. Looks like everything needs to be done.
