Then the cap pulls off. But go to a dealer or whatever and for 50 cents you can probably pick up a new lock. Only install it after you are through, they are one-time use. I'd onlyuse the MB 722.6 trans fluid though.

For those that are interested in making their own dipstick, here is the measurement.
