Corsa C 1.0 12v - Dipstick pipe removal help please - jamie17

Does anyone know how to remove the dipstick pipe on a corsa c 1.0 12v 2003 (Z10XE engine), where it enters the sump/engine block? Ive heard its just meant to pull out but that it can be quite difficult? Is it easy or not? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Yeah, they're supposed to just pull out.

Engine I bought, pipe was all bent, but would it come out? Would it heck. I battered it and pulled it all ways until I gave up.

They need to have a just-right bend to clear stuff and still fasten down, take your time and don't get annoyed, bend it back, you'll get there.
