I was doing rear struts and dropped a bolt inside on the right rear and it looks like it fell between the fender and wheel well and i can't figure out how to get it off will i have to remove body panels to get the stupid thing??
Please help before i go crazy with the clunking!

Thanx

At hardware stores or specialty computer stores they usually sell powerful magnets attacked to a bendable pole. I have a 2ft one. This may do the trick if you can maneuver something in there to pick it up.

Like, behind the rear quarter panel? I did the same, and was able to get it by going in through the trunk.

Open the trunk, pull back the carpet (mine was on the drivers side, stuck near the gas filler neck) and then you should be able to reach your hand and feel around in there.
