Well, I fixed it. I was afraid of doing this at first but I did it, and I'm going to post my fix so it is made known.
I had to take the head unit apart, after pulling the lower piece down, I pushed the cable from the top down to give some slack, keeping the 3 black pieces together, I was then able to heat the head up and pull the piece out at 90°C.
Re-assembled, but I'm too tired to test if it's in working order now.
well done, its not too difficult after you have done it once, as you will see next time.
The only other council I would give you is to double check all the fans are functioning after the re-assemble as the connectors are not as well connected as I would prefer - I have soldered all of the crimped connectors on my UM2 fans
Also the temperature will be higher for materials other than PLA, so ABS I use about 120°C
good luck
