I don't know of any easy way. If you did manage to dislodge anything in
the sludge trap it will probably end up going somewhere like your rod
bearings. That is why it is there in the first place.
It is a safe bet that there is sludge in there. I wouldn't lose too much
sleep about it though. Like I was saying in my last post, I think it
rarely gets to the point where it is filled. If you need to get into the
bottom end, then definitely clean it out. Of course, if it is full, then
you'll probably spin a rod bearing or something, and you'll have to tear
it down anyway.
That's my 2 cents.
