Doing a timing belt on the car - I got all of the 10mm bolts off the lower timing cover except one, the one that's behind the dipstick tube. Can you remove the dipstick tube? If so, how? I really don't want to break it.

Or are you supposed to remove the whole A/C bracket?

help plz

 

The dipstick just pulls straight out.

No need to remove the A/C bracket, though you want to remove the front lower engine mount attached to the bracket.

 

OK, I figured it out. The dipstick tube rotates, so you can rotate it away from the block after taking the top timing belt cover off, and then you can get the lower cover off.
