"What would be my chances of taking the toilet out, removing tank,
shaking the nut out?"

Don't know but it wil only cost $2.00 for the wax ring to try it. I'd
try this before pouring any caustic chemicals into the tank. A magnet
*may* help because a lot of wire nuts have a steel spring insert.

Good luck!


A blast of compressed air might chase it back into the main tank. Come to
think of it, a pressurized blast of water from a garden hose might do the
same thing. Rig up some sort of mini plunger to seal the hose onto the
opening.
