Practically you steamed the tubes. All the air pockets in the cork would expand and obviously cork expanded its size. You should have pulled through pipe cleaner through the tube to clean out the gunk. Then, wet a pipe cleaner (not dripping wet) with WD40 and pull through the tube again to loosen up rust. Make sure you clean the WD40 thoroughly afterward as it is little bit poisonous.

I wonder if the glue to attach the cork to the metal tube may become undone. Apparently it did not, according to your experiment. But I would watch for that.
