    You just didn't get it in the feed hole properly. Most people tend to lean the filament toward themselves when loading from the front, because they actually think its straight up and down, and this makes it much harder to find the feed hole. Angling it back just a bit and you will find the hole every time. Also using your fingers to straighten a few inches of filament will help with loading.

    I have never tried to feed it without just removing the screws/springs (opening up the feed). Only takes a minute.
    You just have to be careful if you do it that way not to let the screws/springs go flying around the room.
    @WheresWaldo is probably spot on for feeding it without dis-assembly.
