2001 Cherokee SYE - Forgot to reinstall magnet

Got SYE installed. Everything went smoothly. Cleaning up, realized I forgot to reinstall magnet... dammit.

So instead of ripping it all back apart, I was wondering if I could just find a magnetic drain plug or something of that nature?

I would just leave it out, but it had a decent amount of buildup on it when I removed it so I think it'd be a better idea to have a magnet in there.

Thoughts?

Thanks

I looked around this morning and couldn't find one. But yes they did have those for a reason.

Fred, yeah, I couldn't find one either...

I'm just going to yank it back apart and put the magnet in. It's just a little bit of RTV and about an hour or two.
