Finally got the replacement. Came to $90 after duty fees :(

Expensive indeed. The reason I was messing with mine to begin with, was because the PTFE piece in my UMO+ had started to deform, leading to jam after jam.
I doubt that I'll be able to get the brass tube out of the PEEK insulator now, so I just ordered a full hot end kit. It was over 80 Euro with duty and postage, so I decided to get a backup kit from China as well, for slightly less than 25 Euro.
Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I had to vent my frustration somewhere.
By the way, why is it brass? Wouldn't steel be much stronger, and maybe even have less thermal conductivity?

I broke it when I assembled the UM for the first time! I put too much pressure on it. Luckily, I had ordered a spare hot end!
Maybe the wiki should warn you not to tighten it too much.
