Any tips on replacing j head hot end PTFE liner? (6 replies)

Last night I was removing a blockage on my hot end and unfortunately damaged the PTFE liner. So this needs replacing, does anyone have any tips for this?
I'm using the stock j head that came with Nopheads Mendel90 kit, which is a MK5B.

I've read somewhere that some PTFE tubing is tapered and therefore will need to be inserted correctly.

Below are the steps I plan to do
    [*] Heat up nozzle and reverse the feed to remove the filament then allow to cool
    [*] Remove the nozzle and unscrew wires from terminals
    [*] Unscrew the brass end from the nozzle holder
    [*] Remove old PTFE liner - Any tips on this?
    [*] Instert new liner and reassemble
