5.0 liter dipstick tube broken

found a 1995 F150 4x4 5.0 5 speed for cheap. Has some problems of course. Engine dipstick tube is broken behind the exhaust manifold. What's the fix?
thanks,

Removal of the broken part (pressed in?) and installation of the new one. Fairly simple process. The tube is made of thin walled tubing, and can easily be bent to create a lib from which you would put a needle nose vice-grip on and twist and pull til it comes out.

thanks...wasn't sure how it was retained in the oil pan wall and didn't want to mess it up. Will give it a try as suggested.
