Hello everyone. Just got back into it again. I am going to try to make this one better than the last one. Which I sold cause I got frustrated sad smiley.
So heres what I have so far. The extruder Greg's hinged accessible. The hot end is a ebay buy from the Netherlands. This was noted on ebay where I bought my plastic parts for the Prusa. "[/i]-ABS parts for Greg's Accessible (Wade's) Extruder, modified with mounting plate for groove mount style hotends(J-Nozzel, MakerGear) and filament guide[/i]" So with all that being said. Here are some pictures for you. Maybe someone will explain to me how to install the hot end to the extruder to the x carrage and so on.

I don't know what the problem is, but I would put the extruder (the motor and the gear box IMG_20130301_161303.jpg) on top of the carriage (IMG_20130301_161226.jpg), then put the hot end PTFE with the wooden part (seen in photo IMG_20130301_161316.jpg) beneath the carriage, and put two bolts going through the 2 big holes from top to bottom. That would make them stay together with the carriage. Does that make any sense?

Check page 85 and see if it helps.

Looks like from the pictures your hot end will fit into the extruder and bolts will go thru the carriage, extruder and hot end wood plate.
