ya i tried a magnet but the mag is to big to fit is such a small whole its driving me nuts.....the last thing i want to do is take off the blower and bang it out by fliping it upside down but it seems i might have to do that :'(

what about those magnets that are like the size of a pen.. you can pull em out so if you drop a screw down in the engine bay? iono might work?

hmm i wonder where i can find those magnets.... i went to auto zone and they said they didnt have magnets that small in stock.... good idea trey thanks

is there a way you could get some double sided tape on a screw driver or something to get it out.

Im about to take you back to 4th grade, but if it went in easily you should be able to retrieve it with this.

Make your own magnet out of a nail.

hey Dave that shits the bomb thanks man O0 ..... Trey- it went in so easy lol i went to take it out and i hit it in my mistake and went in like no tommorrow ... atleast 2 hours using tape and a screwdriver, magnets everything but i think scarface's trick there is goin to work if not the blower is coming off

Another little trick you can try,that my father showed me is to take some mechanics wire,and wrap a few coils around your magnet,and leave whatever length you need at the end,to get into tight places.....like fishing for keystones in blowers.lol

NO prob man...had to use it a lot myself I also have done what 94Twinscrew said, and used a good magnet like a speaker magnet.
