I gutted mine and didnt even use a hammer. Get about 8 3 ft piesces of welding rod put a hose clamp about 2 inchs from each end. put one end in your electric or air drill and go to town. Just like a sewer snake.

You can get a refund on your warranty. Just go to the dealership and tell them you want the remainder on it canceled and refunded.
