    It’s not the orange/red plastic tip that always snaps it’s how to remove the metal dipstick guide that actually goes into the block? Thanks guys.

    I think it is just a push fit but I’m sure someone will confirm.

    the only correct answer is have children, raise them to love cars, then get them to do it while you have a nice cold beer

    I'm in the progress, loving cars is accomplished but at nearly 2 year old he's not really listening to the advices on how to use tools (yet).
