Installing Blackline Goofup

yohanchoe · 05-30-2010, 03:21 PM

i was installing my blacklines today and i dropped a nut under the battery area. anyone know if i need to take out the battery to search for the nut or if there is a easier method? my hand is too big to reach down the side of the battery, and i cant seem to find it when using a screwdriver to move the nut around.

Remove the battery or use a magnetic extension

I knew immediately what you did as soon as I read the title!

That is pretty much the only thing you dont want to do!

Anyway, glad to hear you were able to fish it out!

fishing it out is probably the best and easiest way
