Default Removing 'dipstick'.

Is there a trick to removing that stupid oil measuring stick ? I've been having to use a set of 'channel locks' to get the thing out. Even wearing rubber gloves the thing just turns and turns and I can't pull it out...b.

Rock it while pulling. That sounds bad, but try it.
It needs to be tight or it'll pop out.

I rock out both of my Dynas dip sticks and they come out.

Thing is I already have a 'gym membership' ! LOL. As I said I find using 'channel locks' does the trick but just wondered if there was a 'trick'. It's a 2003 by the way, thanks for the answers guys...b.
