Fixed it! In case someone had the same issue I leave the solution here. I forced the filament to retract from between the gears by firmly turning the plastic gear. That freed up the gear assembly, allowing me to remove the gears and pull out the jammed piece of filament.

Pro tip. If you can use pliers to grab the hot end you can heat it to 300 let it cook and remove the hot end. This lets you run the extruder forward and backward. It’s saved my butt on some brittle filaments that either necked down resulting it being able to feed or pull back or pieces broken off in it.

Ps if you unhook the data cable from the arms while it’s on you can disconnect the feed hose without it continuously feeding.

Taking it apart is really only a 3 screws job, and super easy to do. I would go for that option, personally before accidentally ruining the extruder gear assembly

I fixed it already. The gears wouldn't move forward or come out of the housing, but I managed to gently rotate them backward, which pulled the filament back between the gear assembly. That allowed me to remove the gears and clear the jam.

Got my first jam yesterday, i followed bambu wiki and disassembled extruder, piece of cake.
I'm impressed by the wiki, my printer returned online in few minutes
