How do you pull out the oil dipstick? Mine's really tight. Do you need a tool to lift the little clips near the ring before pulling?
Just gave it another HARD tug with the stick aligned with the flat lip and at the same time lifting the clips the best I could with my fingers. Finally it came out! The first time was insane but after doing it a few more times it seems to have loosen a bit. Thanks!JimC said:Mine was the same, one of the clips was broken off when I got the car so I think someone must have tried to prise it of with something. Its still pretty hard to get off but I use a small flat screwdriver and carefully prise the remaining tab out a bit. If you look closely you will see a small flat on the lip of the dip stick tube and if you turn the dipstick so that one of the tabs lines up with the flat then it helps withdrawing it. Hope this helps/
