This afternoon, my two-year old, Jake, was "helping" me work on the bike. In about 3 seconds flat, he took out my 11 mm deep socket and inserted it into my muffler. It promptly slid down the muffler and disappeared.
I have one of those telescoping magnets, and I tried to retrieve it with that, but no luck. It looks like the pipe inside the muffler bends down about 2 feet from the end of the muffler, and I can't get the telescoping magnet or a close hanger beyond that bend. So since I can't get anything beyond the bend, I'm wondering where my socket went. I suppose sockets are just resourceful.
Any suggestions for retrieving it? How hard is it to remove the muffler?
