Removing the Bowden Tube from the Head

[jleichne 0]

Hey!

So I want to remove the Bowden tube from the hot head so I can attach it to a new mount for a syringe-extrusion setup.

How do I go about pulling it out? Do I need heat? Do I need to hold down a little white thing like when you remove the bowden from the back extruder?

Thanks! I'm cautious about pulling too hard before asking the community.

Remove the blue horse shoe, push down on the white piece as far down as it will go and you should then be able to pull the bowden out.

Hey, thanks a lot, I was putting some force into it, glad I read this before doing something stupid! :cool:

I tugged a bit too hard as well I am sure.

Now...how far do I push it back in to replace it? Thanks for any advice.

K I think I got it...I just push until it runs into the nylon? white part and can go no farther. Why is there no d'oh emoticon?
