Default oil pump bolt in pan.

Magnets don't work. What now?

Easy procedure:

1.) Kick self.
2.) Remove pan.

You might have better luck with a small magnet on string, fish it around the front of the pan with a flexible rod like a long zip-tie.

Well we eventually got it out. Things aren't going well getting it back in. Whoever designed this needs their face broken.

You can drop the pan a little. That'll help a lot. It's not that big of a deal. Tighten the bolts back up in the right sequence ~18lbs and you probably won't have leaks. Don't forget the bolts from the bellhousing.

Pan was already dropped. Had to beat around on pan to figure out where it was. Once we located it we dug around with mAgnets for a while. First time we put it together there want an issue and my skinny fingers got it. Not this time lol. Oh well cars going now finally.
