Classic Murphy’s Law. I had an extra washer in my hand while attaching ground strap and it dropped. It perfect nestled into tube, over top of new plug. I tried magnet, permatex on a socket and vacuum...to no avail.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Air hose with a long plastic tube on the end. Put that in the bottom then flick the washer around with a small screw driver.

Hopefully if it comes loose it will come up with the air

Pictures of predicament would help with suggestions. If the washer is standing on edge I would've thought a piece of wire with a hook on the end would do the trick?

Long thin screwdriver, attach a strong magnet on the shaft at the top by the handle and have a probe down the hole flick the washer free and hopefully lift it out.
