bear15 0 #1 Posted January 4, 2011 How do you remove one of these dipstick housings on a K181 from a wheelhorse? Is it pressfit, screwed in, etc? Thanks for your help -Ed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anglo Traction 759 #4 Posted January 4, 2011 Clean the paint away from the joint and add some good penetrating oil to the joint. I wrap a thick piece of leather , rough side contacting the Tube to avoid marking it, then use a Pipe Wrench to Gently turn it while using the other hand to pull upwards on the tube. Alter the rotation and repeat. You can use a couple of layers of Denin if you have no Leather. When refitting, if joint is not tight, Degrease the joint, apply a smear of epoxy resin glue to the joint . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #5 Posted January 4, 2011 Not to stray too far off course, but can you post the ID numbers for that engine? I don't recall of any models that used that style of dipstick/tube. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
