is there a way to remove the dipstick housing without destroying it?

not unless you take off your exhaust manifold, and cut it at the base with a sawzaw or dremel or something of the like.

why would you want to?

I am building a flange for my custom header. (would like to have one like the HS (one that conects all pipes)) but the dipstick is crosing my planes. So I would like to remove the dipstick just temporary during header install.
Or can I just bent it so that the flange(later complete header) will slip in between the dipstick and the screews that come out of the head?

I am looking for a easy way of removing it, not a saw or a hammer . If it's not possible I will use two flanges.
