Easiest way of getting the sludge trap out:
1. Go and buy a big bolt 7/8"??? from memory by 6" long.
2. Grind a bit of a taper on the thread end.
3. Cut flutes into it with an angle grinder.
You now have a big thread tap for under $5.00.
This bolt should be bigger than the ID of the sludge trap, but the taper on the bolt should easily fit inside the ID.
Use the homemade tap to spin the sludge trap, the thread will grip the sludge trap wall and you should be able to spin the trap out [turn and exert upward pressure].
You will get some thread marks on the inside of the trap, but almost negligible. The trap is not damaged.
If the trap is tight/ceased, use the oven and warm the crank up, this softens the sludge and should un-cease the trap.
