Thanks for making this video. There are several hints that could be added. Shine a flashlight to identify the correct two screws holding the motor. They could be obstructed by wires. The video above points to the correct screws but it would be easy to unscrew the incorrect ones. @2:48 NOTE that there are two screws to the left, about 5 mm apart. You need to loosen the left-most screw of the pair. @2:56 NOTE that there are two screws to the right, also about 5 mm apart. You need to loosen the left screw of the pair. The rightmost screw is a set-screw. All 4 of the screws below are Torx, so it is easy to get confused. Find all 4 of them before you unscrew anything. If the motor doesn't get loose, then you have removed an incorrect screw. The correct screws have a pan head, incorrect screws have a round profile head. If the motor gets loose, but you can't lift it straight up, then there may a piece of filament stuck between the nozzle and the motor gear teeth. Try pressing the release lever while lifting it. Otherwise, just pull up hard. Watch out for the black wire that goes across inconveniently.
Does your fan kick on when you are filling it. I believe my clogging is due to the fan not kicking on because it almost never does and there's signs of over heating the filament before it feeds through.
I have had that problem especially with Nylon and a bit with TPU. Particularly with TPU, starting off with a raft has made things much better. Nylon continues to be a challenge for me.
This very well could be a concern but I would not worry about it as long as you dont pull it out extremely fast, the motor itself should be fine, the one thing that could be damaged would be whatever electronics are attached to it getting hit with a reverse voltage spike.

A very good how-to. I'm a cnc tech +25 years, and kudo's mate!
Very helpful thank you. You’ll need a T10 torx with a slim 3-4” length which fits all the screws precisely.
Glad I could help

woah no way its me hua from discord and we use the same 3d printer! zamn!
Have you had no issue yet where the first layers do not stick well to the build plate and the next layers are perfect?

Why did ur account get deleted?
Warning DO NOT pull out the filament as it can break the motor that pulls it

Anyone else unable to pull out stepper motor after releasing two screws?
Yes. Looks like this POS was made by Bosch and it is so badly designed. You probably unscrewed the wrong screws, like I did. Pls see my comment.
@@rajarampejaver6689 I got mine fixed in the end :)
