E3D V6 Hotend - How to remove a broken heatbreak stuck in the heatsink

In this quick tutorial I will share my experience in removing an E3D V6 hotend  broken heat-break stuck in the heat-sink :

Step 1: 

If this is an E3D clone, make sure the heat-break is not glued into the heat-sink, use some acetone or any diluent, you may need to heat it to make sure anything in the thread will melt and dissolve.

Step 2: 

Find the right Torx head that fits your heat-break hole, in my case T20 Torx head fitted well.

Step 3:

Place the Torx head in the heat-break, and a few gentle hammer taps just for the T head to sit tightly.

Step 4:

Unscrew the heat-break, if you find resistance try heating the heat-sink, or use solvents.

Warning: Don't forget gloves and protection otherwise you will unscrew yourself not the heat-sink.
