Using Canon IR 5050 fuser roller on Canon IRA 6055

[LTTP]

We have had a fuser roller for a Canon IR 5050 in stock for months and now we need to replace this same roller on a Canon IR Advance 6055, from what ive seen they are almopst a perfect match and i wanna try to adapt it and use this one instead of ordering another one that will atke a couple days to ship.

Any of you have ever done this before? they look suprisingly very similar, wondering if it would just be as easy as to use the retainers from the IR 5050 instead of the ones in the IRA 6055? thats the only difference i can think off.

Hi, I have done this before. You must make new slots for the Retainer, because its position is different.
The iRA6055 has only one gear but the iR5050 has two gears.
You can saw the holes but do not forget to protect the fuser roller with wrapping lots of paper on it.

Hi thanks for the answer, just a question tho... attached is a pic of what i think is the soltion... i need to either saw the gear hole to make it wkider (outlined in blue) or saw new holes for the retainer rings.

Do you remember how did you measure the exact point where you had to saw them? my guess is its not necesssary for them to be absolutely precise, so i think i can make them a little bigger just to be sure retainer fits.

You have to file the slot for the gear DEEPER not WIDER, it is the opposite side of the roller in the picture where the Retainer match the GEAR (the FRONT side).
On the back side you have to saw new the holes for the Retainer because the Roller is longer.

Ok that is correct, on the Front Side / Gear side you have to make the Slot for the Gear Deeper.
On the Rear Side you have to saw slots for the Retainer , it is about 12 mm from the old slots.

Got it, we brought the whole fuser unit to service it at the shop and ill be doing this tomorrow or monday, i noticed a difference of someghing like half an inch in lenght bewteenb both rollers just like in your picture, did you cut the 5050 roller to the same size as the 6055? just making sure before cutting anything.

No I did not cut anything, just making holes for the retainerand make the slot for the gear deeper so the gear can fit.
