I need to replace my dipstick tube on my 126 380SE,...(it was bent years ago by someone working on the engine,...and it leaks and is positioned incorrectly). I have the new one, Looks like I might not be able to remove the old one without dismantling the front of the engine at least partially.

Can anyone tell me if I can just pull out the old one and push in the new one,....or is there some accessory removal or engine dissasembly required.
