Subject:Question about therm. housing blockage
From:Marla Stelk

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?

Peace,
Marla
