Removing the dipstick housing....
The new (to me) engine that is going in my '84 300D needed a new o-ring for the dipstick housing, and apparently needs a new dipstick housing. I want to pull the housing from my old engine, but it is in there pretty firm. Does anyone have any tricks? I was thinking vice grips, but I don't want to deform the tube. BTW, I have pulled the fuel filter housing and IP, so I have pretty good access.

I think there is a bracket holding part of it to the block. Did you see it?

I was also wondering about this. I have a 616 pan that I would like to remove the dip stick tube from but dont want to tweek on it too much. I think they are just a "press fit".

That's the problem... it won't. How resilient is the tube when the dipstick is inserted? Am I going to mess it up with visegrips?

Well, I got it. I tried visegrips, but to no avail. I actually dropped the oil pan and had to use a hammer to pound it out. It makes me wonder how the dipstick on the new block I'm putting in ever got so loose.
