??? three screws and the whole assy pulls right out of the heat sink
I'm trying to remove the broken piece of nozzle that is screwed into the heater
turn on the heater (to soften any plastic in the nozzle) the remaining threaded part should unscrew easily if it was NOT over-torqued (to spec). A tapered scissors tip should grab the inner hole and you can unscrew it. Or a typical broken bolt extractor etc. A small drill bit, inserted and with a small amount of side force while rotating may also grab the meatl and un-screw it.
ALWAYS tighten and un-tighten when hot!
