It might be worth a shot before dropping the pan. Good luck.

Having the right tools and the experience allowed me to just get in and get it done.
I've thought about magnets, going in with the camera to see if i could spot the parts, flushing it out but i would be much more confident in dropping the pan. The possibility of missing a small piece that could end up back in the pump is not worth it. besides, making the cross memeber removeable makes sense to me and may prove usefull to others who are faced with the same problem. from all the reports on failed pumps,tensioners and lifters a solution other than pulling the motor is in order.
