What's the best way to remove a broken off dipstick tube? It's a SBC with a driver side dipstick and there is about an 1/8 inch still sticking out of the block. The truck has a 3 inch body lift, so there is access from the wheel well. Any ideas? EZ-Out maybe?
 
just recently saw a wood lag bolt used to pull out a rusted out one on a newer 6.0 might give it a try.

other wise pop the pan and tap it up and out would be best.
 
Cool, that was a lot easier than I was expecting. I was able to thread in an old 3/8 seat mounting bolt that had a large washer. Then, with a long prybar and a hammer, I was able to knock it up and out from under the truck. Easy pie:D
