I am doing the same thing this winter to get ready for my annual trip to 
Chattanooga (a 1200 mile round trip) for the spring Imperial Gathering 
(please note shameless plug for Robert Soule's event).  I have had a few 
people suggest using the pressure washer to blow out everything you can 
and this is what I plan to do.  Sorry I don't know what size that you 
use but I would suggest that you use brass freeze plugs when you replace 
them so that you will never have to do it again.
