My top mount in the prommie broke, the Brass Metal Standoff that you screw into POPPED off the silver metal, and is STUCK in the top cooling head!!!
IT scared the heck outta me when it happened!

Its STUCK inside the cooling head now, I can't get ahold of the bottom of the BRASS standoff because it is flush with the white bottom part of the cooling head

What could I possibly to to make the BRASS stay in place, well I unscrew the allen screw from it? I dont care if the screw/standoff are destroyed, the reseller said they would get me a new topmount/screws I NEEEEED to get this screw/standoff out WITHOUT DAMAGING the cooling head!! :(

JB Weld a bolt to the bottom of the brass standoff m8. Stick a spanner on the bolt and unscrew the allen bolt from the top of the prommie head.

Welcome to the broken Prommie club ;).

Dont have any JB Weld, will my Arctic Silver Epoxy be good enough? I dont really care if I have to waste it

Hmm possibly. Id say you really needed some proper strong glue - If you dont have JB Weld try hot glue, or at a push decent superglue. Arctic Epoxy is good for what it does, but its certainly no superglue.
