I had a similar experience. My TR3 core was not completely blocked but
substancially so. I alternately flushed one direction, then the other,
turned it upside down (with the connections facing down) and wrapped it
with the heel of my hand and got an amazing amount of rust and crud out of
the thing. It now works a treat.
It was a bit accordioned but a little gentle pressure squeezed it back down
to fit the clips.
These things are built like tanks.
