I would also try a long piece of PVC tubeing attached to your shop vac to tyr ans suck the magnet and rubbing block out.

To re-install, just use a dead blow hammer to seat in place, and reverse the removal process.
Thank you everyone!

Take it over to any decent 4wd shop. They work on Dana 44's all the time and have you fixed up in a couple of hours.
The forum isn't going to fix your problem....
There is a case spreader tool made that will assist in the removal and reinstallation of your carrier.
But the cost of the tool will be more than having a shop pop out your carrier, grab the loose pieces, and put it back in.
Since you are not changing any settings, no readjustment is needed (unless your tooth pattern shows something irregular.

How horrible a job is it to remove the chunk with the axle in the car? Will I need any of the special tools to remove and replace?

If the lost Magnet is pretty strong, it very well may be stuck to the inside of the Axle Tube, so you will have to knock it off with your broomstick first.

it seems the magnet on the dowel isn't as strong as the one lost when first retrieving the button

Find a dowel or broomstick that will fit in there, and epoxy a dime-size rare-earth magnet to the end. Let the epoxy set up real well before using that tool to fish for the lost lambs.
