Using the 1.5mm hex key, loosen and remove the two fasteners that hold the limit switch into place.
Using a 2.5mm hex key, loosen and remove the single fastener next to the heatsink fan.
Using a 2.0mm hex key, loosen and remove the fastener above the blower fan and the one right below it on the blower fan.
Carefully remove the blower fan and duct away from the part, it will still be connected by the fan wiring harness.
Using a set of wire clippers, carefully cut the zip ties holding the wires on the back of the tool head.
Using the 2.5mm, loosen and remove the four heatsink mounting screws and remove the fan duct by sliding down off the bottom of the tool head.
Using the pin removal tool, carefully remove the pins for the heater.
Note: this step is only required if the hot end assembly needs to be replaced.
Depress the retention tab on the connector housing and disconnect the thermistor extension. At this point, the hot end assembly can be lifted and removed.
Using the 2.5mm hex key, loosen and remove the four fasteners holding the hotend assembly in place.
Remove the assembly by wiggling and pulling. Loosening the idler compression screw can help. Turn clockwise to decompress the spring.
If there is still filament stuck in the hot end, you will need to wiggle the filament guide loose from it.
Inspect the bearings, hobbed shaft, idler arm, guide tube, and drive gears. Clean as necessary.
Remove the bearing from the old heatsink and install it in the new heatsink. A spare stepper motor shaft is a good tool to remove the bearing, just push the shaft into the bearing and then wiggle and pull the bearing out.
Reassemble the toolhead as shown observing the following:
Take care to not pinch any wires when installing the new heatsink assembly.
The red ground wire goes thought the heatsink fins and on the bottom left short fastener.
The fan must be up on the heatsink before the fan duct is installed so that the wires are routed correctly.
Both heater pins go with the latch facing outwards.
The heater and thermistor wire pairs are not polarized.
