Pull water pump and timing cover???

Pull water pump and timing cover???
I was removing my oil pressure sending unit and the dang thing broke. I was able to back out the brass threads stuck down in. I was careful but I got a couple of micro particles down the hole. I took a q-tip and swabbed the hole and the landing down in there. I snagged a few particles. Very tiny and can only see if reflecting light.
Now for the dumb question, should I pull off the timing cover? There is only few thousand miles on the engine.
thanks,

Make a short hose to thread into the oil sender hole, put the other end of the hose into a bucket. Add a couple extra quarts of oil, have a helper start the engine, make sure your helper shuts down the engine before you drain the oil pan.

Thanks Guys! you saved me some stress and more work....
I did vacuum out the hole and swabbed it again and could not see any debris.
I'll do Matt's idea as well. I'm redoing the whole engine compartment, so it may a a week or two.
I'll keep you posted.
