Dipstick tube removal. Ideas?

Thanks for the tip BadSport!! That bar stock fit pretty snug in the tube. I put a vice grip on it to back it out because it seemed to be too tight, and as I twisted on the bar stock, the dipstick tube started to spin out of the hole. Once I had it out, I rested the lip of the dipstick tube on the vice jaws and drove the bar stock out with a smaller stick of bar stock. Thank you BadSport, and thank you FABO.
