Drive it into the hole in the block. You can take a slightly larger piece of tubing and cut it at an angle to serve as a punch. Lube the dipstick tube and the hole in the block. Make sure your dipstick tube is correct for the engine.. for example, the tube used on 1-piece rear seal blocks is smaller than the older 2-piece seal blocks, so some aftermarket dipsticks end up being to big to go down the hole. Same goes for cheap chrome plated dipstick tubes. Hope that helps you out.
