After a long tedious time, I was able to retrieve it again, but this time I hooked it with a bent clothes hanger and was able to pull it out. I then used the magnet to pick up any residual shavings that I didn't get on my previous attempts to retrieve the disc. Then hooked up the vacuum to suck out anything left in the pipe.

This is why I took my pipe off and then did the mod. I like to take extra precaution....
