dipstick broke dipstick

I broke the dipstick case off even with the block. How in the world do I get the piece of the tube out that is left in the motor?

F.find a bolt that will just thread into the piece of tube. Thread it in there then grab the bolt head with a pair of channel locks or vice grips and tap on the grippers with a hammer. Always works for me.

If you can find the bolt to go in there it will work.

My friend at a machine shop is going to make a sleeve with a receiver to tap down into the old hole and and slide the original stick into. thanks, guys.
