Can't open idler door

I have some filament jam around the extruder or PFTE tube but I'm unable to work to unjam it because I can't open the idler door as all the "how to unjam" posts suggest.  I've unscrewed the tensioner w/spring that holds it closed.

Help!

Thank you! I just discovered that as you were responding.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to unjam my hotend even with this door open. So disassembly continues...
