Extrusion problem

I had a couple of great months until the pinda mount melted off and upon being sent the replacement (very quickly) extruder part, the printer now extrudes inconsistently. I have spent about 6 hours on this one now and have changed nozzles, filament, PTFE tube, idler pressure and just took it apart and put it back again to no avail. The gears seem to pull it down with a bunch of strength, which now makes me think there is a problem with the heating? The filament also comes out a lot more than I would expect when the gears aren't pushing it. Any help is much appreciated! Extra points for tips on reattaching the wires to the part cooling fan which came off upon extruder reassembly!

 

The picture shows the best first layer calibration since the problem starts but plastic basically stops coming out of the hot end at different points:
