You can use a ball bearing the same size as the one used for the check valve. Silver solder the ball (3/8th ? I fotgt) onto a short length of rod.
Use some valve grinding paste to lap in a new seat.
Clean the seat thoroughly after you do this.
Some people advocate just tapping on the ball with a hammer to reform the seat. That kinda works, sometimes.
