Geoff Weeks Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If it uses a compression nut and "olive", they can stick, sometimes there is no out but cutting. If you have to replace, make sure the old and new are the same length. When the tubes on my cabovers rusted, I replaced with stainless tube. the end that the dipstick tightens in (bell mouth) was just brazed onto the tube, and I transferred to the new stainless. That said my cabover might be different from what you have. A picture would help. The fitting that screws into the block is two parts, you hold the bottom and turn the top hex. Kinda sounds like the bottom is turning with the top, keeping the tube captive.

Joey Mack Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Can you heat the tube and straighten it, un screw it, then when it's back in, heat and bend it back...
