Sounds like someone needs to buy a small brass brush.. lol
Hi, I was going to start a new topic but the title of this one is very approprate.
I have the exact problem stated in the video, however I couldn't seem to remove the Nozzle!
Please see attached photos...

When I unscrew the nozzle it will unscrew out of the aluminium block easily enough but then just spins along with the other part on the other side if you see what I mean.
So basically the 2 parts are fused together somehow and are spinning together!
Can someone help?

It is because some melted filament hold the two part together. You should always heat nozzle before removing it. For now just het up nozzle with somtehing like a torch or soldering iron mabey and filament will melt. Dont heat it to much, just so filament melts.
Should one remove nozzle while hot or when cooled down?
Read somewhere on the forum someone's cracked while being removed hot...

Always remove hot.. Hardened filament is like glue you
Good to know. Thanks!

Interesting method, Sam. My usual practice is to bring the hot end up to temperature using the Maintenance menu, which will keep it hot throughout the process. Then I remove the feed stepper and use a 12-inch piece of 0.063" stainless music wire from McMaster as a ramrod to manually push everything down out of the feed tube. Removing the nozzle is optional, usually not necessary. One advantage of this method is that you don't have to keep loading and unloading, and I find it easier to push once from the top than repeatedly from the bottom. Also this will work for very small pieces of stuck filament or "the bulb", where the Allen key and unload might not reach.
In any case, it should not be necessary to remove the entire hot end as Phil_Lament did.
Frankly, I don’t like the idea of pushing the hot filament up the path…I would be concerned having small residual pieces in the cold part of the channel or under the gear. I do it like Julia and always push from the top by taking the stepper out.

Hey thanks for pointing that out. Just an update, I heated the assembly up with a hot air gun, detached the nozzle from the Steel bracket, removed filament inside, and now I'm good to go. Thanks again.

When I try to watch this video, it informs me that it is private. Any way I can watch it? This happens to me almost every time I change filament lol. Thanks!
My fault, it's back again.
But still, I think you are doing something wrong if it happens every time you change filament. You have to cut both pieces of filament as straight as possible with sharp pliers, otherwise you deform it and it will stuck. I have clippers which I use for this purpose only.
