Thanks, the photo helped show me where this could happen. Will be using individual leaves when I do this again, no nuts to come loose.

Hard to imagine anyone putting it back together and hoping.

Have you had service performed at a dealership before? I've seen some eyebrow raising things...

Bullet dodged.

I suppose its not that unbelievable. Lots of medical malpractice cases where surgeons leave sponges in the belly. Same sort of thing I guess.

Lucky man indeed. You should send a photo back to the original owner. Full disclosure and all

Wow. Billman and others are right: So Lucky! That nut must have bounced around like a Pachenko ball.

I have removed the individual bent feelers, not from fear of losing the nut but it is just easier to do the job with a single correct feeler.

As above and I find using pointed nose plyers with a single feeler better.
