how do I remove the sump of a briggs and stratton classic 35?

My mower "Backfired" when I was trying to start it and I lost control of the starter cord which recoiled and hit the oil filler cap causing the dipstick to break off and lodge in the sump.
I need instruction and the tools required to remove the sump and retrieve the dipstick.
I have removed the base plate and the emgine from the chassis where do I go from here.
