Rotating the hotend?

So had a buddy help me to help speed it up. Somehow it got all the way to the very end when it was realized the hotend is 180 degrees from where it should be. Not going to lie, many signs were missed that are seen now, amazing what experience does. However, with *everything* connected, what is the easiest way to flip that around? I'm assuming just reversing the steps, but I figured there'd be some hints besides making him buy me lots of beer in restitution.

Hello and welcome in Prusaforum!

disassemble e.axis in reverse order according to these instructions: https://help.prusa3d.com/en/guide/5-e-axis-assembly_28536

Consider it an exercise 👍

It looks like I could just do this too? Evidently I didn't search enough.

because that constitutes pulling it out, then I'd just turn it and put it back in.
