You can try if you load a new material without the Bowden tube if the piece comes out. If not then there is no other way to open the feeder. It is basically not difficult, just the 4 screws to get off the top of the feeder, but the problem is, that these 4 screws are also holding the stepper motor behind. So you have to be very careful that the stepper will not fall down.
Best to unscrew only 3 screws and the 4th screw only a little bit and try if you can open the housing. Another way is to try to hold the stepper motor with some longer thing, a small ruler or something like that.
On the Um2Go the stepper motor will not completely fall off, so you should be able to grab the motor on the wheel and pull it back into his position.
Thank you. We did try to pull of the tube and run the advance filament, but it did not work. I think we are stuck with your solution. Thanks again for helping.

We don't often release an alpha version of Ultimaker Cura... So what's different this time? This Alpha contains such a huge slicing engine overhaul that we really need your help!
We wish to celebrate and honor the innovators that push forward the field, technology and world. We opted to not present it as a competition or ranked list. Every innovator has earned his spot on that list in their own way. We also look at the 3D printing industry as a whole and not limit the list to those only using Ultimaker.
