Default Re: Screw dropped into radiator

I had success with a similar predicament with a modern car buy attaching a 1/2" diameter hose to the end of my shop vac. Stuck the hose in and managed to get the small part sucked out. The nut or washer wasn't going to cause a problem if it stayed in the radiator, but it bugged me enough to give the vacuum cleaner a try after I failed with a magnet.
