Can't remove the heater block
Hello,
It looks I broke my heatbreak and/or heatsink by using a longer nozzle.So I had planned to replace the broken parts.
But I can't unscrew the three little 1.5mm heatsink screws.
IQless on youtube made a video where he unscrew them without efforts.
I only turned counter clockwise as he did, and even with force, it wouldn't unscrew.
I ended up turning my allen key round.
What am I supposed to do now ? 😪
RE: Can't remove the heater block
Hi. I understand your problem. I had a 1.5mm Allen key but it also rotated in the holes. Fortunately I had a kit of speciality bits and taking one from there worked fine. Most videos show the use of a screwdriver / pen style bit rather than the usual Allen key with a right angle bend. Don’t get stressed. Get yourself a screwdriver type bit and those three screws will move.

Thanks. You made me realize in my tool kit I have one of those xiaomi screw drivers with 1.5mm head I had never used.
I then used that tip in a larger screw driver and it finally unscrewed.
Thanks for the tip !
