Take it off in one piece - it's pretty easy.  It's held on with two 13mm
nuts.  You'll also need to loosen the dipstick holder from the pipe.

Subject: oil filler tube removal

I need to remove the oil filler tube to gain access for the dreaded
drilling of the alternator mounting bracket. The top half is plastic.
Can this slide off or do I have to unbolt the whole assembly at the
block.

Though it wiggles some I am hesitant for fear of breaking it and having
to buy another.

The Bentley doesn't offer much guidance on this.
