What worked for me was the second hint on the site "My advise would be to
push the stub on thru. Run a long piece of bailing wire down thru the hole
where the tube was and out the oil drain hole. Did I mention that you need
to drain the oil?? Then with a small punch push the stub on thru and it
will slide down the wire and into your hand. How's that for an alley
mechanics trick"

Easy fix and the new one from Jim worked great.
