Filament stuck in nextruder

Seems my filament is stuck in my nextruder, I have an MK4s that came assembled with the mmu3. 

The MMU can't pull out the filament and neither can I. I tried heating it up to 290, but that didn't help. It's stuck in there. I've never opened it up before so I wouldn't know where to start.

RE: Filament stuck in nextruder

Anthony,

When you state "The MMU can't pull the filament" are you trying to remove the filament without "unloading" from the printer menu? If so, you may need to "open the idler lever" on the extruder to release pressure on the filament. Prusa chat is very responsive if you need quicker response than the forums.

Regards,

Steve

They actually determined that my gearbox was kaput. No way to release the filament.
