Very neat trick indeed. I fished out the bolt as most do using a flexible rod with a magnet. Probably from Northern Tool. What likely was different in my case; the bolt that came loose was a carriage bolt that appeared to have been hammered into place. This actually happened on the first day I drove the car. I would include a photo of the bolt, but I'm in AL, not TX.
