How to replace extruder nozzle?

I need to take the nozzle off of the extruder to see if there are any clogs in there. I have a replacement if necessary (came with the printer so it won't change much). I took out the screw in the unit holding the nozzle, but I can't get the nozzle itself to budge. Is there some secret to this?

you can heat the heatblock to make it somewhat expand a little. Or heat it till any filament stuck between the threads burns off. while heating, carefully unscrew the heatblock (DO NOT FORCE IT).
-do not heat it too much or metal will degrade and becomes brittle.
-do not force the nozzle, it should unscrew easily.
Howdy, Stranger!
