The dip stick tube is pressed into the engine block. Put a bolt into the top of the tube so that the body of the bolt goes into the tube and the bolt head rests on the tube (so it does not fall down the tube). Use a wrench (such as a Vise grip) to hold onto the tube at the bolt and gently work it back and forth, being sure not to deform the tube. Remove the tube and old dip stick. Replace the tube by forcing it back into the eng. block. Replace the dip stick - done :)! Some dip stick tubes have a gasket at the engine - others just **** up to a shoulder that is built into the tube. Let me know if this works. Thanks.
MOST TIMES YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE THE WHOLE DIP STICK TUBE OUT. USUALLY IT IS ONE BOLT AND THEN PUSHES INTO THE BLOCK.
would a magnet and/or a very long pair of tweezers work?
The problem with a magnet is that the tube is also magnetic and it would be difficult to have the magnet apply the forces to the end of the broken dip stick and not the tube. That is if you could get the magnet down the tube far enough to reach the dip stick. The twesszers would be difficult to sweeze, again - if you could reach the dip stick. There is always the chance you could drop the tweezers as well. I would not discourage you from trying either of these methods, but I would not be confident of their success.
