Follow the dipstick tube up until you see where it's screwed to the engine (I'm fairly sure it is.) Remove the screw holding it.

You can then remove the pan and tube assembly with a little finagling.

Yes, the upper tube does separate (it's slip-fitted with an O-ring seal,) but the damned thing cruds up and sticks over time. Easier to pull it apart on the bench the first them, clean the slip fit, then lubricate it (I prefer either PTFE "pipe dope" or never-seez - both will work. Grease & oil tends to dry out over time and make the damned thing stick again.)
