I was trying to remove what I believe to be the speaker brackets from my 914. But the bolts just kept spinning with nothing to secure the studs on the other side. So I snuck a 10mm wrench through the hole pictured -- which I promptly dropped.
Now the wrench is stuck down there. I tried fishing it out with a magnet for a while, but without success. Does anyone know if there is a way to access this area? Or have any other advice as to how to retrieve it? Thanks in advance -- (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) The wrench went down that hole. v v v (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/photos.smugmug.com-18409-1539902870.1.jpg) |
