Clogged Nozel

Hi,
I had problems with oozing and ngen filament. I played with the retraction settings and I'm pretty sure that this caused my nozzle to get clogged.
When I tried to unload the filament it broke right at the silicon tube...

I tried the needle approach, but it doesn’t help. It gets quite high I think as high as the heat break..
I can’t do a cold pull since my filament is broken at the top of the silicone tube...
So what are my options?
Shall I remove the nozzle?

Thanks
Ognian

Re: Clogged Nozel

Heat it up and remove the nozzle.

Then push something through to clean the clog, then reassemble.

Sorry for the late answer, I actually ended up disassembling the whole hotend and needed thermal paste to assemble it again...
This took quite some time; What I would suggest and what might could helped in my case would be a setting (menu option ) in the firmware to turn of the hotend fan, by this allowing the heatbreak to get hotter; If there was such an option I would have used this first and then I'm pretty sure that pushing filament on top would have solved this a lot easier...
