Fourth try on a print. Tried to add some adhesive to the bed to get it to stick better. Watched the first two layers and went to bed. Woke up to a printer on strike.

These nozzles are cheap. And it shouldn't be very difficult fix this one if you have a heat gun. The hard part will be to get at the latch that holds the the nozzle assembly in the extruder. That's small, fiddly, and delicate part that there is a good chance of breaking.
So while you are ordering that spare heater assembly, ($20US) you might as well get a new nozzle too, ($10US).
You don't need any new parts to fix this, though, except maybe a new sock. You just heat up your hotend for a while and it'll pull off. If it's too thick, stick the hotend in the oven for a bit.
