sometimes when someone does not put it back on right it will be tough to replace. Be sure it goes back on correctly.

If you replace the stock dipstick with the HD analog oil temp dipstick (about $45.00) it's a lot easier to remove & install, and you get an oil temp gauge to boot.

Also when reinstalling it look at the notches and the tangs. One is wider than the other. It is possible, although very hard to do, to install it backwards. When you get it out look at them to be sure that the previous guy didn't cross them.
If it has an aftermarket seat you might need to lift on the edge to get a better grip on the cap.
