Clogged/Stuck AA Nozzle Hot Cold Pulls not working

[arthurmsarthur 0]

Good Morning everyone, 

 

My AA 0.4 nozzle recently clogged somehow, pretty odd and still don't know how it happened, usually I only have issues with the BBs. But anyways, the filament is stuck really well, hot pulls are not working, and I don't see to find a way to figure it out. I am wondering if you guys can give me some guidance since Ultimaker recommends opening the extruder only as a very last resource.

Would recommend getting a thin pin or needle, heating up the nozzle, and trying to poke away some of the debris. They have kits on amazon for fairly cheap.
