Default dropped lifter?

ok so my stupid pen magnet came apart when i tried to pull it off my lifter soooo......is it possible for me to drop that lifter out and take the magnet off then push the lifter back into place or do i have to take the head off and invent new ways of putting four letter words together?

Where is the lifter. I would have to say no unless it is the first lifter in line. If the lifter does not go back up in the lifter tray it will crush the tray and you will loose 4 lifter and maby the cam. Sorry man you got to pull the heads. Where are u located.

I would try a different pen magnet to try and grab the magnet piece that is currently sitting on the top of the lifter. If it fails then you could take the head off but if it works then that's a lot less work for you. I bought a pretty damn strong pen magnet from advance auto for like $9 and I think it would fit down there.

See if you can get one of those 3 prong grabers. You know the ones old people use when small **** falls. You see them a lot in shops.
