Wrench extension fell inside exhaust pipe
 
So I was trying to bolt on the exhaust manifold when I realize my 2 inch extension and a 13mm deep socket fell inside the exhaust pipe. :icon_hyper:

I tried pulling it out with a coat hanger but I couldn't.

Now what? How do I pull it out? Can I leave it inside?

Thanks

Telescoping/extension magnet.

Alright, found a flexible claw and magnet pick up tool in autozone.

Any tips for bolting the exhaust manifold, it won't line up. Should I bolt it to the cylinder head 1st then bolt on the exhaust pipe or should I bolt on the exhaust pipe 1st then bolt it to the cylinder head.

This is driving me crazy.

That's normal. There's a few ways to fix this. One is to redrill the manifold bolt holes a size up until you can fit all the bolts in it. Or they actually sell a tool that spreads the manifold apart a bit so you can get the bolts in.
