Center console

So i broke my armrest and bought a nice heavy duty metal one, well for the base. So i went to put the armrest back in and one of the bolts fell down inside the actual console. I cant even see where it went. Anybody ever take one completely apart? Where do i start? I need to break it down completely?

You might try one of those telescoping magnets like this one.
