ok, i bought this engine cap set off ebay and it comes with all the caps and dipstick. actually it came with two radiator caps for some reason. one was damaged, so i figured he threw the other in for free.

anyway, the caps went on fine, but im having some major issues with the dipstick.

i assumed it would be a roll pin that holds the stick on, but this one has a some sort of threaded set screw. you can look down the end and see threads on the shaft...but my eyes arent good enough to see if the other end is a hex head. i can see it is hollow. the hole in the dipstick holder is only drilled on one side and doesnt run all the way through like the factory roll pin style.

anyway, bought a micro set of allen keys at harbor freight. it has 0.7, 0.9, and 1.3mm. the 0.7 and 0.9 were to small and the 1.3 was to big.

so i cant figure out how to get the bastard out. i was going to call the company and ask, but i cant find this model anywhere and there was no factory package included...

anyone have any ideas?












here is what im assuming the threaded part basically is:
