Been using the cut off wheel on a Dremel too. The only difference is that I keep a cable that doesn't have an end on it for brake or shifter and run it down the housing to knock out the lining hole. This approach cleans it from the inside out rather than pushing anything into the lining when using an awl or other tool from outside the lining.
not all cable can be soldered so i use super glue for about 1/2" along the cable. Also avoids using an end cap.
