You should be able to free it up without taking it out. Heat it a little and spray with brake cleaner or even liquid wrench. Let it soak over night with brake cleaner (don't let the liquid wrench soak that long). It should break loose the crud. Flush it out with wd40 then blow out either with air or fire a few rounds!
