Default header install, need help

ok so stated install on LT's today, everything went pretty smooth, only thing was the third cat was seperated, the top and bottom half had come apart and the insides were rotted out. anyways we were trying to get the passanger side out and the dipstick is stuck, i tried a search and got nothing.

the "third cat" that he's talking about is probably the flex joint in the Ypipe.

the bolt for the dipstick should be 15mm
