Hello, I've got a 2000 Volvo Penta 3.0 GSM-A. I'm swapping motors and I am trying to pull out the dipstick tube and put it on the new motor. I cant seem to figure out how to get it off. It doesn't seem to be threaded, but it seems kind of fragile so I don't want to put too much pressure on it. How is this thing attached? Thanks for any help. Rob
