Wondering if anyone anyone has any successful tips/tricks on how to clear the inside of the blade arms so that I can replace the hydraulic lines running from the spool to the blade. I've seen plenty of vids and post of people running the new lines on the outside of the arm, but I would like to keep this as a last resort.
TIA for your suggestions

Welcome to the boards.
A combination of poking with steel rods, a lot of water from a hose, and using a pressure washer are about the best I can think of. Good luck.

I would echo the power washer, done basically the same thing on trackframes on the 2-cylinder crawlers. It works well, just let it soak up and start to disrupt the hardened dirt, and it gradually washer out.
