so after reconing the head on the 1.6 16v sport and spending all day yesterday refitting everything, i went to fit my new top part powerbox inlet 2day, but one of the internal supports has decided to come loose while fitting and drop into the bottom half of the inlet

, being copper its not magnetic grrr, anyone have any ideas of how to get it out without having to take the bottom half of the inlet off again? as you probly know its a massive pain in the ass to get on and off. as its the far right port of the inlet if i take the egr valve off can i acces the inside of the inlet or isit a closed chamber?

cheers

Can you see it in the inlet, if you carn`then I would take it off to be on the safe side, if you can, go to a DIY shop and buy a mouse trap ( the small glue ones ). dip a lolly stick in this and put it down the inlet, its strong enough to pull it out
