01 LHS oil pan dip stick removal
 

so i bought a 01 chyrysler lhs with what the guy thought was a blown head gastket, turned out it was actually the little rubber line running from the thermistate housing back had a pin whole leak that was burning off on the exauhst. good buy

\i did an oil change and i broke the oil drain plug off in it, after market finger tight non wrench BS... lol in anycase i picked one up from the wrecker for 20 bucks.

the problem i am having is \i cant get the dipstick tube out. am i missing sumthing?, also is there a better way than removinf my a/c compresser to get at the dip stick mounting bolt that's behind it. anyone found a trick or should i just remove it and try not to bleed off the system.
