A second pair of eyes and hands is helpful. Grease the o ring and push it in.

LOL I figured it out,, somehow I had bent the very bottom of the dipstick so it wouldn't go in cause it was at an angle,, I straightened it and it went right in.

Glad to hear that you got it figured out! I'm now reminded of the extreme pain in the *** it is to reinstall an LT1 dipstick tube. <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">

I used to always cut a few inches of the tube off to make it a little easier... <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">

have someone under the car and hold and tell you where to move it and it should slide right in.
