ihave a long bendy pipe thing with a magnet on the end, for getting bits n pieces that fall where the shouldnt be, also got a thing with and extendable claw (like the thing of terminator when arnies pulled that bit out of his nose!)
i got them in a pack from the local car parts place, only cost a fiver. come in handy for jobs like that smileys/smiley2.gif LOL

the neck that holds the oil level dipstick can come out, remove the bolt holding it and pull it out the block, then take broken one out and put new one in.
