Help....My oil dipstick broke off in the tube and its stuck. I tried everything to pull it out but its stuck pretty good. I would like to just replace the tube. It this easy? I can see the upper bolt but not sure if there are other bolts under the car. Can someone give me instruction on replacing the tube. Thanks

 

Sorry I have a 2005 Pacifica with a 3.8L engine.

 

buy a pick set and extract the broken part out.

 

Not sure about the Pacifica engine but it's probably similar to the Sebring 2.7 since it's a similar function. On the Sebring, there's just one bolt near the top. The tube fits into a hole near the bottom and has a couple of O-rings to seal it down there. To remove the tube, you need to remove the bolt, then pull up on the tube to get it out. It was stubborn, and I needed to use a prybar carefully under the metal strap that the bolt went through. With a little leverage for persuasion, it popped right out.
Clean up the bottom end as well as you can. I searched several auto parts stores but never found replacements for the O-rings so I re-used them. Put a little clean oil on the O-rings before pushing the tube back in place.

 

I purchased a pick set but no luck, the plastic handle piece is really stuck. Gonna give replacing the tube a try. Thanks!!

 

I have run into the same problem and was wondering if you would share how you removed the tube? Thanks in advance.

 

Maybe just a dab of super glue or epoxy on something to attach to the dipstick. Mine just broke off i've never seen anything like it i'm going to try and reattach with epoxy for now and get a new dipstick but what a pos.

 

I had the same issue. I removed the broken stick in less than 5 minutes. Drill a small hole in the center of the plastic handle. Drive a small screw into the hole you drilled. Use pliers to pull it out. Done.

 

I tried this and my dipstick kept pushing farther down
