550 tip: bearing falls into the abyss

[izzy]

If you're changing out the caliber conversion plate and the plate bearing ball falls into the center you can blast it out with compressed air. Sorry I don't know the exact names of the parts but I just spent quite a while trying to fish this little bugger out and wanted to share. A quick blast from my air compressor worked really well.

Would a magnet also work, or is it stainless?

I tried a magnet but no dice.

double sided sticky tape on a wooden dowel, or other object, works too
