I was thinking along the lines of yanking the springs, too. Maybe stretching them is a better plan.
What's really needed is a more effective charge cleaning roller - that foam thing just doesn't cut it. Has anybody though about trying to hack in the brush from an MP4000 or something like that? An actual brush type charge roller cleaner would seem to be much more effective to me - and dirty charge rollers don't seem to be among the persistent problems with the MP4000's (at least the charge roller is no more filthy than the rest of the PCDU) I have no idea if it will fit, just throwing it out there.
Had a different problem with one today - See new thread:
