Small magnets also
like on a pickup stick work. Make sure the whole assembly comes out, Sometimes I have had only half of it come out. You bleed it by inserting a small blunt wire or screwdriver in the tiny hole on the bottom of the assembly; this pushes a tiny spring valve. If you have an experienced engine guy nearby it is a big help. I think what you called a plunger is the hydraulic lifter. Sorry I don't have a picture.
