did you take the bolt out that holds it to the head? If you did then all you need to do is twist and pull.

I hope yours isnt like my buddies was when we did his install. We TRASHED his dipstick tube getting it out. He is a stout MF'R, and he couldnt get it out by hand.

Default dip stick?

i never take the dip stick out when i change spark plugs, onsome though i use a 3/4 inch wrench on the end of the spark plug socket to trun it because my rachet wont fit. dont know if that helps

Mine was a pain too. We did what your doing and had somebody push from the bottom while I pulled from up top. It finally came loose after the fighting/tugging.
Just keep at it, it will either bend to **** or come out. lol

I say that because we also broke my buddies on his header install.

i swear, installing headers has got to be one of those mods with the most broken parts during install. I see these threads all the time. NGK TR-55's check the pre-gap. I ran mine at 055. since someone will prolly ask, NOW i have the tr-6's as i'm boosted
