I wonder if anyone is able to do an ' autopsy ' on seized compressors ?

I am aware of the manuals advisory about not flushing the manifold hose. I'm trying to figure out why? It is a very large diameter inner hose and if out of the car can be manipulated to flush quite easily. All the other components can be flushed but not this hose. Again, just trying to figure that one out. when I flushed mine I did not have any particles come out of the hose. Again the hose did not "require" flushing due to black death.
