It's a bit too late for the answer, I suppose, but for the next time in a
similar situation, it would be nice to have at least one more idea than I had.
I removed my heater yesterday and I'm kind of wondering how one is supposed to
remove the washer from the stud that is accessible from the engine
compartment.  I can only get one finger in there and I couldn't get needlenose
pliers in.  So ... in my attempt, I dropped it inside the enclosed space.  I'm
going to have to buy one of those magnets on a stick to get it out.  :(  There
seems to be a bunch of other debris in there also.



The nut was no problem and replacing the washer and nut should be no problem,
I suspect.



The colour of the coolant coming out of there was 'special'.
