does anyone know of intructions to dismantle extruder. I have some filament that broke as it entered the extruder and it will not unload. There is nothing left to pull it out. I need to take the extruder apart to remove filament but not sure best way to do this.

Try following these instructions from Sovol on YouTube: [SV04 IDEX How to clean hotend clean nozzle/ heatbreak of the Sovol SV04 IDEX 3D Printer 2021 - YouTube](https://youtu.be/Lx5ndVX-l6k) - the SV04 IDEX’s “left” extruder and carriage are identical.
