Fell in intake manifold

[Street_Killer]

So im an idiot. I was using a socket to hold open the throttle to put my throttle cable back on and it fell in. ha. So Im looking at two options before I take it off.... Im thinking use a vacuum and suck it out or magnet. What do you guys think about these options? Also, If it fell in, it would just be sitting in the bottom of the mani right? Cause it goes down then goes back up.

Pull the throttle body off and try to get it with one of these.

When this happens to me, I use a one of those magnets on a flexible stick tools. I'm not sure of the exact name but they seem to work pretty well. Good luck

Incase your unaware of this Harbor Freight is a tool store. I'm sure you could find a flex-magnet locally though. Check your local auto stores.
