Extruder stuck, I think?

I unloaded my MK2's filament, moved the printer, and then attempted to reload the filament. Unfortunately, after loading about two inches of filament, the motor starts clicking and is unable to finish loading the filament. I assume it's stuck. Here's a video of it: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/9vjtj3zi5ai7kff/AABvov9-Q0ytAvDGn4auDScya

I'm able to stick the nozzle cleaner from the hotend side completely in when the nozzle is heated. What do you all recommend I do? Do I have any option but to disassemble the extruder? Any guesses as to why this even happened? There were no abnormalities in any recent print jobs prior to this.

Surprisingly, I don't see many other "my extruder is stuck" posts. This one is close: http://shop.prusa3d.com/forum/prusa-i3-kit-building-calibrating-first-print-main-f6/extruder-clogged-immediately-after-putting-togethe-t2341.html#p18544

I took its advice and tried heating to 250C and forcing the filament through, but wasn't successful.

Hi Ken,

you should read this thread as well that provide some others way to unclog the extruder:

I'm like Jon Snow, I know nothing.
