How to remove a broken oil dipstick tube that is broken off inside of the block. And this video I have over several methods and tricks that may help in the process of getting a broken oil dipstick tube out of the engine block. I'm working on a Chevy pickup truck with a 5.3 L engine.

This method also applies for Chevy trucks with a 6.0 liter. First I had to remove the inner Fender to gain access to the oil dipstick tube. Once I had the inner Fender and tire removed I was able to get the torch in there and heat up the block to try and help the O-ring on oil dipstick tube to make it easier to remove.
Then I proceeded by using a self-tapping screw to screw into the old dipstick tube. Only the first half came out so I was unable to find another self-tapping screw to pull the second half of the dipstick out. I had to move it back and forth inside the engine block several times before I was able to remove it due to rust buildup. If for some reason the old part of the oil dipstick does fall down in the oil pan it should not cause any issues but definitely should be removed if possible.
