    I wouldn't exactly call it a shortcut. It'll take you 60 to 90 minutes, and you'll have to remove a lot of stuff. I would have the clutch in-hand before starting any disassembly. The rust is a sure indicator. =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

    Just looked in the service manual and it looks like a pain to get to. Any tips or shortcuts, getting to the clutch? I'm sure if I have to do the replacement, I'll figure out any shortcuts along the way but it would be cool to have a heads up. Thanks for the info, @habik !
    If it is just the clutch then:

    Short ver.

    Rear covers 3 black and 1 white
    Side cover white (comm ports)
    Black plastic harness holding Panel and Scanner cable that slides up after removing 1 self tapper under comm ports cover
    Fuser
    Near fuser drive Door Side - 2x Black Eject drive cog Direct drive from clutch 1 clip then there is another which needs just unclipping and half slide to allow the direct drive to come off. Slide the shaft out and clutch is free to lift up from the fuser drive.
    Now disocnnect the clutch connector (I have feeling they are either bonded connectors as they real hard to pull off, think they somehow break off.) Cable remains in place if you fitting Kyo clutch "mod".

    If you replacing it with new Konica clutch and clutch cable together then its beeter for the drive to come off as it is a bit fiddly to get the cable out without damage, plus you can check if there is any damage to other gears.

    Hope that helps.

    Re: Heads up for noise in fuser/exit section on C224-554e

    Ive got a machine which is on 60k, ive had to replace the fuser due to a knocking noise....its a 554 (olivetti) customer phoned yesterday complaining of clicking noise. I sent my engineer out and then there was no noise im wondering if this is anything related. Machine was installed in July 2017. His machine does not have a finnisher....it doesnt stack the paper very well.....

    Humidity
    Paper Storage
    Paper Quality
    Firmware
    Fuser Temp Warm up Modes

    Take a pick..or any variable combination.

    Without finisher it will never be stacked nicely due to the speed of the machine. Hence where alingment plates and paddles in finisher comes to play.
    However you can still try and change warm up mode to 3 or 4. If the customer is happy to wait a minute for machine to warm up on each print then this might be your solution.

    Hope this helps on your MF552plus. Good luck.

    Even the 658 series exit assy is a worry
    In the 8 series the clicking is from the exit rollers shaft wearing through the plastic as there is no bushing and gettibg lots of play. This then causes gears to not mesh all the time
