Getting tools out under over condenser smuggler box

[zl0ca]

While removing my steering rack today, I dropped a few allen sockets under the condenser. What is the easiest way of getting to them?
After stripping the allen pan head I removed the fan housing and accidentally clipped the guide tube, how difficult are they to replace?
And what are you replacing the pan head screws with?


Thanks

A flexible probe with a magnet at the end will help get what is under the evaporator, however clearance may not be your friend. I am sure you will come up with a few new cuss words...
I have learned my lesson early on and try to remember to stuff rags wherever there is an opening and things that don't belong will always find their way in.

In order to have more access to the bottom of the smuggler's box, beneath the evaporator housing, you can remove the passenger's side floorboard and then remove the evaporator intake duct - there will be about 1" of clearance all the way around the evaporator opening at that point.

Here's the way I did it.

So I got the stuff from under the condenser.
The next battle is extracting the Allen m8x15 that holds the steering rack in place. It has already broken one screw extractor.
