Hi volks, I'm in the process of replacing all my cooling hoses. When I pulled off the one that goes from the upper front of the thermostat housing (if you're facing it from the rear of van) it was had about a one inch blockage of clay/dirt right where the hose meets the housing. I've never taken apart the housing before, but it doesn't look too difficult. If I put a piece of wire through the nipple that comes out of the housing in order to clear the blockage, am I going to risk breaking anything? Is it completely hollow?
