Snapped off dip stick.

[Crazy440]

My 4 yo Granddaughter was over "helping" me, as I removed parts from the 440.  It's sitting on an engine dolly.  She came over and says' "here Grandpa" and handed me the dipstick tube.  She had snapped it off.  I thanked her.
Now I have to figure out how to remove the part of the tube, still stuck in the block.  Wandering if I should use a spiral extractor or wait till I have the pan off and try and push it out from inside the block.
Oppinions?
Thanks

Did that on an olds 455 and had the pan off. Just turned it over and punched it out from inside.

If no hurry then from inside the block sounds easiest. Otherwise a extractor would probably work but you might have to be careful not to mar up the bore.  It's just an interference seal/fit.

sometimes you get a tap to grab it and then muscle it out with a vise grips.  somtimes
