I did this instead , thread an old bicycle brake cable through the pipe , then fray the last inch or two of end that sticks out , once frayed pull slowly twisting it often as you pull the cable back out of the pipe . This scours the insides and removes so much gunk you will be surprised . [Reply]  [No Email]

You should clean the brass adapter on the block and if needed you can replace the hard line with brake tubing from auto parts store. [Reply]  [No Email]
