Today I went to check and change my oil and when I pulled on the dip stick (gently as always) the plastic piece on the top had dry rotted and broke off leaving a piece of the plastic and the dip stick in the tube, it is stuck in there now. The dipstick didn't fall into the hole because it is still held up by the plastic piece that broke off. Any suggestions on how to get it out?????????

Thanks

Have you tried a pair of needle nose pliers. OR I don't know if it is safe but try to superglue it back on.

yeah I tried the plyers, but the super glue idea sounds good if done carefully I may try that. Cool thanks man, any other suggestions before I go try this???

How about a magnet.

What I've had to do on a friends car was to drill a small hole in the side of the dipstick tube. I then stuck a pick in the hole in shimmied the dipstick out. Then put on some jb weld and you're all set.

Sweet thanks for all the help guys! I will be working on it this weekend.
