Forgot you have a fully assembled, just pull the whole support out - easier that way.

Thank god for vise grips... no slippage with those puppies...

OK, by 4 main bolts you mean the ones that are holding the barrel onto the motor?  Or am I missing something?

I'd have to clear the hopper as there's about 5g of pellets still in there...

Only thing I know to suggest is remove 4 main bolts and slide the hot end out, heat to 180, and put more muscle on it. Removing the 4 main bolts and sliding it out keeps you from bending the barrel.

Heated unit to 180
let sit for at least 45 minutes at temp
try turning the nozzle
barrel with thermocouple moves with it.
grabbed the barrel with another pair of pliers and try again
nozzle refuses to budge...

Any thoughts or suggestions?
