You push the pin on the old one out with something thin enough to fit in the hole. I think I used a small screwdriver. Be careful that you don't lose the pin, because you need it for the new handle. Then, you take the dipstick, insert it into the Shelby handle. Line up the hole in the dipstick with the hole in the Shelby handle and then insert the pin removed from the OEM dipstick. The hardest part is getting the pin out of the old one.

A small drill bit works great for pressing/pushing the pin out by hand. Do not use the bit in a drill.

The proper tool is a straight drift pin & a small ball peen hammer . This will not damage anything if you tap lightly when removing the pin.

Heres where i win the stupid prize--i had to hold the old top in a vise to get the pin out--one slight hit with a small hole punch and it came out fast, so fast it hit the ground area under the vise which was not as clean as it should be--2 hrs later i havent found the pin--even checked my shoes--any suggestions on putting a pin in woill be greatly appreciated--please no smart ---ss coments, even though i deserve it, my ego is too fragile right now bob

It's called a roll pin.

 

Lowes or The Home Depot will have a selection of roll pins in their speciaty fastener section.

 

You won't likely find the right length but just buy one a little longer and grind the excess off with a bench grinder. Take the handle with you to get the right diameter pin.

 

Or you can get a whole selection of them at your local Harbor Freight.

Roofers use a magnetic bar on wheels to roll around after a job to pick up roofing nails. If you wanted to find the lost pin, that is. Easier to just buy a replacement, I suppose.

Phil thanks--i dont have abench grinder--- i do have a tool that cuts of screws/nails to length--ill try that if its too long--i was thinking of gluing a nail that almost fit, then i figured with my luck itd fall out into the oil pan---this is why i dont do any mods--in fact one time years ago,i was changinmg plugs in a 74 Chevy wagon, dropped a plug--it never hit the ground, and i never found it--Im going to make one more pass at fidning it by taking everything from under my bench and see if it somehow bounced into a box of tiles---bob

There is one more option....Hobby stores have tiny diameter (2mm and 1/16) machine screws and locknuts.

OK ive now got a roll pin the handle--push it into thje dip stick holder and it doesnt go as far in as the yellow stick handle.Cant leave it that way it'll give false readings on oil levels--this is a real PITA---did you guys have an issue getting the new handle fully into the holder--if you got it to work, what did you do--thanks--bob

NEVER MIND--I FIGURED IT WAS THE GASKET O RING--SO I VIOLATED ONE OF MY RULES AND USED A RUBBER MALLET TO FORCE IT IN--HOPEFULLY ITLL GET SOME MEMORY AND STAY SMALLER--- ITS BEAR TO GET OUT BUT THEN AGAIN HOW OFTEN DO I NEED TO CHECH OIL, RIGHT
