Dip stick tube

Builder broke upper part of oil dip stick tube. Found replacement. Is the tube held in with an adhesive? Will have to remove original piece as old one is broke flush with tube coming oil pan.
Thanks for any advice.

I have done this on a SBF/Tiger. If you can get the oil pan off you can use a drift from bottom of timing cover to catch dip sick tube from inside then drive out the broken piece of dip stick tube.

The engine is on a stand and is complete. So, I just need to catch broken piece with a hook of some type and should come out?
