I wouldn't recommend a reverse flush in the opposite direction, could break apart sediments large enough to actually clog the core? Then your ripping the dash apart to replace it, better off just going with the flow. Literally.

I always flush in both directions. Never a problem.

Yes I tried to get pliers back there just couldn't get any kind of a grip on it. The dam clamp is has way too uch tension to release it. So what do I need to get the hose off of the heater core barbs? Looks like some fancy quick connect but I can't tell what it is or what I need to do to get it off.
