Default Break off remains on the outside of the tube with pliers, then using a drywall screw to pry out

what's left inside the tube. Press on the new one until it clicks.

Default Had the exact same problem before...You need to break

off the remains of the plastic. I used pliers, screwdriver and a ice pick. It is a little tricky but just be patient, and be very careful that none of the plastic bits fall into your oil funnel. A trick I used was I stuck my right arm from the side to get at the part (there is just enough space between the hoses) it is easier than trying both hands from the top, just remember to put on a jacket so your arms are covered with sleeves. Post if your still having problems.
