Removing Passenger side exhaust manifold

How do you do it?
The oil dipstick goes between the manifold and it's mounting flange that bolts to the head

You mean pull the tube out of the block?
That's what I figured but unsure, is it a bitch to get back in?

Twist, don't jiggle. If you jiggle it you'll break it. I broke mine and it was in the pan for a couple months before it finally got where it could be pulled out during an oil change.
Try some wd40 around the block to see if it helps any.

happens some times.

If you are careful it should come out and go back in easily

That thing isn't coming out, it sure as heck isn't coming out easy.
4 winters of MN road salt isn't helping.
I'm giving up for the night. Sprayed it down with penatrating oil and try again tomorrow
