2009 Dodge Journey Broken Oil Dipstick - DIY Dipstick Removal and Replacement Dorman 921-126

One common problem on many Dodge and Chrysler Videos is that dipstick breaking. The handle is molded plastic with no integrity to it. We attempted to get the dipstick out via a self tapper and pulling like in other videos. Ultimately we had to pull the entire dipstick Tube off the car and then drill the plastic completed till it was freed up. We reinstalled the tube and put in a new dipstick and its good as new.
Tools :
Drill bits of various sizes as well as a drill
Pipe cleaner to clean out plastic bits (keep them out of the engine pan!)
15 MM socket/Ratchet
Brake cleaner to clean up the mess
Part :
Dorman 921-126

    Thanks, guys! Dipstick snapped off and it looked like a formidable task to remove it. I had it done in less than 5 minutes. Keep up the good work!

    Thanks for the comment Erik. I have seen sometimes a screw into it and pulling work as well but we just could NOT get anything to work on this. Glad you got yours handled. :)

    Great instructions. 15 minutes in and out of the garage. Thanks!
