When I look into it, I can see what looks like a white nylon ring, and I am wondering if I can some how get some small needle noise pliars on and pull it out.
Short answer YES.
Longer answer: A few years ago a couple of women in the campground where I was camping were complaining of water heater problems.. Rather clear that was the problem, stuck/clogged check valve.
I told them about the valve, lead them to some internet links, and the mother (mother/daughter pair) used her needle nose pliers to gut the valve,, They were very happy to once again be in Hot Water.
Yup, sometimes being in hot water is a good thing. (like when doing dishes or taking a shower).
