Vacuuming Inside of Heat Exchange Tubes

[Glosta]

Any problem adding a 3 ft. piece of rubber hose to my Shop Vac nozzle and vacuuming the inside of my heat exchange tubes?

I have a funny feeling my little guy may have dropped a Lego or two down one of the heat exchange tubes.

I just don't want to damage anything further by probing around with a rubber vacuum hose inside those tubes.

In advance, thanks for your feedback!

Go to it, remember stove off and cold.
