abeauch Posted August 9, 2006 Share Posted August 9, 2006 I went to check the fluid level in my OBW and when I went to pull the dipstick it was stuck. Got a screw driver on it to pry upwards and it came out but a metal sleeve came out with it. I've tried penetrating oil, and other methods but no luck, I can not seperate the dipstick from the metal sleeve. I'll probably have to apply heat. My question is I'll probably destroy the dip stick, can I assume that most subaru models will have the same dipstick? I will be looking in the local salvage yard. Anyone ever have this problem?

nipper Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 ah grasshopper, everyone is quick to apply heat, but no one applies cold. Try sticking it in the freezer first and see what happens. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
