    Canon iR 5185 Fuser Replacement

    We are being shipped a fuser unit that will be replacing a malfunctioning unit. The tech, who cannot be in the area to help, said that it was a matter of unscrewing some screws and it was an easy replacement. Is this the case or is it more complicated than that? Does anyone have a walk through or guide for something like this? I appreciate your time.

    if you are just getting the fuser unit you will have to swap the fixing drive unit from the old one to the new one. The unit is held in by 4 screws and the drive unit is held on by a screw and a clip. I'm sure some one has a a PDF or something to help you out visually with the procedure, but it really isn't that difficult to do.

    I have a used fixing drive for sale. Doesnt have the metal clip around the connector but other than that its fine. Kinda superficial.

    When removed, unplug the connector and remove the three screws. See Figures 1 and 2.

    So much fun to do, sometimes raise blood pressure with those connectors.
