On a sad note, I was putting my rear bumper back on tonight and I dropped the wrench down in the fender...it is NOWHERE to be found. I'm serious, I've stuck a magnet down in there, I've looked from several different access points, I've reached through those access points and physically touched every nook and cranny and it is NOWHERE!!!

I had the same thing happen to me when I was installing my BHR ignition. One of the nuts that holds the coils on fell and I never found it? I looked for a good 5 to 10 minutes before I went to my tool box and found a similar one. LOL

It would still bug me if it was a nut or something, but being a tool, it drives me insane!! Especially since it's a stubby 10mm ratchet wrench, I use that thing ALOT and it's part of a kit...at least it WAS.

I've dropped nuts and bolts before and just gotten new ones instead haha. I looked for a good half hour last night though, til about 0130 this morning. I'm tired as shit today haha. I actually lost one of the acorn nuts that holds the UIM on, and it drove me crazy but I got a similar one and used it. Then a while later I had everything apart again and it fell out and I have it on again now haha. I would hope that happens with the wrench too but I doubt it.

Unfortunately, unless I cut the fender apart, I'll never be able to open it up and find the damn thing haha.

Also we have the added effect of it clanking around when I go over a bump haha. That's to say it's still in there and not sucked into a black hole as it seems may be the case right now haha.

your best bet is to befriend a few lepricons to get your wrench then steal their gold and get everything you ever wanted for your car.

Chris I would seriously consider that masterful plan, haha, but I was able to get the wrench tonight. I just stuck the magnet in there again and moved it around some more and it actually came out pretty fast tonight. I'm so happy haha.
