Digital BW, The Print

I have an 1160 which I bought a couple of years ago to dedicate to quads,
but never ended up using at all.  It¹s been sitting new, unused on a shelf.
Wanting to get back into quad printing recently, I fired it up with new
Epson carts.  Clog city, natch.  After doing EVERY cleaning technique known
to mankind over a one week period, I determined that the yellow head is
permanently clogged.

The question is- is it worth it to buy a new head and
change it myself (from having it done on another 1160 years ago, I know the
local authorized Epson repair place will charge around $200 for to put in a
new head).  Is it worth the effort?  How difficult to do?  It¹s sad because
the machine is new, but I don¹t want to throw out good money with the bad!
Thanks
