Replacing AOS, noticed broken line

[AXCM2]

So one thing that isn’t clear to me is that when replacing the dipstick tube, is the one end a press fit? Not the end that is in the trunk, but the end that is towards the engine. It seems like it’s just a rubber press fitting, but I don’t want to pull it out hard and break something.

I have not replaced the dipstick in this car, but the others that I have done are indeed a press in, usually with a rubber o ring that seats on the block, and then a tab somewhere along the tube that will hard mount to the frame. Check the replacent part and see if that's all that is there.

Have a look at the new part. It is not press fit. There is a square block on the end with 2 yellow rectangular squares that get pressed in to release the tube from the block.
