Yeah I tried that but it was so clogged it didn't do anything. I ended up scraping it out morsel by morsel with a hacksaw blade. After about 3 hours of this, I blasted air again and it finally blew through and splooged black goop all over the front of the X5, my new 19" wheels, and the garage wall. I was so excited about breaking through that I didn't even get pissed about it. I then capped the end and filled it with carb cleaner and let it sit overnight and did it again.
