This thread gives lots of advice on how to replace the dipstick tube:

A helper under the car to guide it seems to be the key. It might also help to learn some German cuss words. (not the language of love)

Not to worry you even more, but putting the dipstick tube back in was THE hardest part of putting my 60e back in my yukon. Added almost an hour to the job, you definitely need a helper.
