changing thermistor

Does anyone have any pointers on changing the extruder thermistor, I am having problems as the 1.5 mm hex driver doesn't seem to fit the set screw well.  Of course there is a lot of melted plastic in the hole for the screw. I am trying now to clean it with mek.

 

Also, I can't seem to find a way to search the forum, I must be missing something there!

RE: changing thermistor

Heat the heater block to 200c - should soften the plastic to allow the Allen wrench access. Alternatively, heat the Allen wrench.  But heating the block is the best case, as it will help when you pull out the thermistor, which is probably also caked in plastic.
