Clueless In Sandland
I was removing my fuel lines today and I have a pair of P clips around the braided, anchored to the chassis in a convenient hole. There's a larger, elongated hole just forward of the convenient bolt hole.
I slipped my 7/16 spanner through the elongated hole to hold the nut while I undid the bolt. I was trying to leave it so the nut was just on the bolt whereby I would slip my finger through the elongated hole and retrieve it. However, I went too far and when I pulled the spanner out, the nut dropped into the chassis. I thought it probably wouldn't have gone too far and slid the spanner back into the elongated hole to try and snag, then drag the nut forward so it could drop out.
Bastard! Dropped the spanner! Into the chassis!
Took me about half an hour with a bloody magnet trying to get the damn thing back out.
Yeah, I know - dickhead...
