3vze Dipstick Tube leak
Ever since I did my head gaskets, my dipstick tube's been leaking where it goes into the block. The FSM said to completely remove the tube in the top end rebuild process, so I tried wiggling it around a bunch and twisting it and stuff but in the end i couldn't get it out so I left it in. I think all that wiggling and twisting made it leak, but I could be wrong. So how do you remove the dipstick tube, or is there an easy fix for the leak?

You remove the bolt holding it in place & replace the O-ring at the bottom where it goes into the block. Is that the hardest question you have for us?!?
