Last post by Pat Conlon - Yesterday at 02:30:17 PMEric, Robert and I agree, the secret to success is with adhesives.
If you can't mechanically grab it, or hold it with vacuum, then as Timothy Leary suggested, better living thru chemistry...so to speak.
Can we start a betting pool? I'm in for 5 bucks...

I agree... put off the mechanic's fingers for a while. I'm sure there's a harder way that'll work.
The claw was their first method attempted.
"We have a bore scope and we can see it -- we also are able to grab it with some flexible wire pinchers but the unable to retrieve it with the pinch grabbers due to the overall width of the grabbers once they hold the brass insert. So basically can pull it through the hole."
