. After reading the comments, I did some more digging and this is what I found: Youtube Link. I gotta say, the assembly is a bit unconventional, hence the confusion. Now that is solved, I am having another issue, the M5 Push Connector for the PTFE tubing does not fit the hole of the extruder, it is a bit smaller (hole of the extruder is bigger). I thought the M5 push connector is the standard when it comes to Bowden extruders, right? Or am I doing something wrong?

Yes you are right, the reason I got the M5 is because someone from Thingiverse posted an extruder model that had M5 holes. I decided to go with the Metal one from Ebay... oh well, couple more weeks of waiting while I use my plastic printed one. Learned a lot today, thanks!Quote

I would expect it to be M6, since that is what the threaded shaft is for the usual hotend for that style of extruder.
