Is there more to taking it off the tube besides unbolting it from the exhaust manifold and pulling it out?

that'* it!

Ahh thats awesome! thanks

I'd clean up the area a bit before yanking it out.. there is gonna be a lot of grime and dirt just waiting to fall into the hole once you take it out.

yeah i dont need to put in another motor

can I ask why you are taking it out?

yea im taking it off because the part of the dipstick handle that has the o-rings on it.... yea i smacked the top of it and it it broke in the tube, so when i pulled the stick there was a chunk stuck in the tube, its stuck good and its brittle as heck so i i want to take it off so none of it goes into the oil
