2004 RX8 Oil Filler Pipe Replacement
Hello,
I've been reading the forums for a while now and have learned TONS of stuff about the RX8 I am currently swapping engines on.
Since I'm fairly new to working with engines and cars in general I will occasionally make some really dumb mistakes.
A few months ago I managed to break the bolt on the Lower Oil Fill Pipe (P/N N3H1-10-D10)
. Apparently this part can be purchased separately, but it seems that it's permanently attached to the engine block.. So is it pressed in and can it be removed by force?
I attached a diagram showing the pipe (labeled 10-410 in the bottom image). If anyone has experience with removing/replacing this part I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Thanks. Drilling the bolt out was the initial plan, but I'm a bit nervous since it may damage the pipe further. I guess in that case I'd just order a new one...

Driving my unreliable rx8
The stud is extremely easy to drill. just remove the UIM and put some rags in the pipe while you drill it. the dificult part is getting the new bolt in there and holding a wrench on top and bottom to rebolt it every time. but it's doable. I've seen me do it.
