Dropped socket into frame.

So I was installing my new control arms the other day and when I went to pull the socket out it popped off of the extension and into the frame. Any suggestions on how to get it out?

use a magnet and walk it back to a hole where you can extract it.

LOL .. so did I ... it's still in there because I've been to lazy to fish it out. If it was rattling I would have retrieved it already.

I soldered a magnet that was about the size of a pencil eraser onto a piece of alum tubing... Works like a charm
