Gonzojive I have just dropped a screwing my M96 case, sounds. akin to what you did . Tell me please how you got. yours out .. Locked cams, pulled all chain tensioners and then pulled the IMS bearing stud toward 2 o'clock?? The exterior magnet you chased it out with was from where Harbor fright ?? I am ****************ting thinking I have doomed my low cost project .. Any light you shed. would be appreciated.. Joe
