Get one of those...geez, I can't even begin to come up with a name for
it...it's about 2 feet long, flexible like a Bowden cable, with a "claw" on
one end and a plunger on the other. Should be able to find one for under $5.
Yeah, it'll take a bit of feeling around in the blind, but you should be able
to hook onto the banjo bolt in a lot less time than it would take you to turn
the car upside down and shake it.
