In this quick tutorial I will share my experience in removing an E3D
V6 hotend broken heat-break stuck in the heat-sink :
Step 1:
If this is an E3D clone, make sure the heat-break is not glued into the heat-sink, use some acetone or any diluent, you may need to heat it to make sure anything in the thread will melt and dissolve.
Step 2:
Find the right Torx head that fits your heat-break hole, in my case T20 Torx head fitted well.

|
Torx head has a good grip |
Step 3:
Place the Torx head in the heat-break, and a few gentle hammer taps just
for the T head to sit tightly.
|
|
Torx head fits inside the heat-break |
Step 4:
Unscrew the heat-break, if you find resistance try heating the heat-sink,
or use solvents.
|
|
Unscrew the heat-break |
And Voila !
|
|
Never thought it's that easy |
Warning: Don't forget gloves and protection otherwise you will unscrew yourself not the heat-sink.
