Oil dip stick tube removal
Hello all,
I am having difficulty removing the oil dipstick tube in order to replace the o ring. I have to replace a leaking cam cover seal. I can cet it to a point but it seems to get caught and I cannot work it free. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
Mike

before you pull it out feed down through the dipstick a length of straightened bailing wire, reasonably heavy gauge. it will act as a guide for the new seal and dipstick tube when you install it as well as showing you exactly where it goes. this worked for me on another nightmare dipstick installation.

[QUOTE=oldjaglover;2507066]What about where the tube is attached to the back of the PAS pump? I'm doing the pump R&R and cannot even see the little clip that the JTIS says is holding the tube to the back of the pump. It's a long way down there....because the PAS pump is actually pretty far down where it attaches to the engine.

How did this go? Apparently some are more difficult/cooperative than others.
Thanks
