For this sort of thing a long screwdriver or (much better) a
mechanic's stethoscope can be your good friend.  It's like a medical
stethoscope except there's an eight inch long pointed stick (no
raspberries) attached to the diaphragm.  I unscrew it at the
diaphragm and the two halves fit nicely in a toolbox.  Lisle make a
very nice one; the one from Pep Boys is utterly useless.

Moderator note:  I trimmed two hundred lines and about six
quote-levels of old dead message off the bottom of this.  Please
remember to trim, gentlemen.
