I polished mine with coarse sandpaper wrapped around a butterfly bit, then finished off with a finer paper (waterproof sandpaper).

a 5/8 masonary bit fits pretty good, also you can use a 12 ga shoyt gun brush and some solvent to clean it out

i think im going to replace the tube after all the tube is 20 years old and that should solve the problem i hope
is it hard to replace the tube

I've never done it myself, but from what I hear, you're WAY better off trying to clean the one you've got.
