well, you could always stand the bike on its nose and shake till it falls.

Whatever you do,,,,,be sure not to disturb any crusted dirt that may be around the spark plug hole.(in any attempts to get it out) Any dirt that gets into your cylinder, will surely rob life from your motor.

Hey Brandon, long time no talk. Do you mean u dropped it in the plug hole upside down? Maybe try to get a very strong magnet to pull it out. I have magnets called NIB earth magnets that are about the size of a nickel that can pick up 20 lbs. Other than the magnet trick, I really dont know what to tell you. You could always just take off the head, but who wants to ruin a head gasket?

The magnet sounds like a good bet.

Shop VAC that will keep all of the dirt from falling into the hole as well.

The shop vac is a good idea. Or try and find a rubber hose that snuggly fits over the trheads and stick it in there.

Wow. Didnt expect to get much feedback. If any at all! I appreacitate all your help. I have no magnets around the house, or garage as far as that goes. I never thought of it anyway. Nick, IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME! How've ya been man? I ended up jacking the rear end up and using a string to grasp the hook on the end of the plug to pull it out. WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT! Got it out. Thanks very much for al your help again. Ride safe every one! And msg me on Yahoo Msger Nick [if you use it] on "raptor_supra".

P.S. haha, just purchased 1997 Toyota Supra. Ride safe e1.
