Removal of Finisher S1 IR3045

[cweber0531]

I need to replace the finisher on this one, can't figure out what is causing it to jam up. I'm having trouble removing the finisher from the rail guides. Was hoping one of you could give me a walk through on how to release the finisher from the rail guides. I should be able to figure out the rest. Any help would be appreciated.

the finisher comes out with the rails attached to it as one complete unit. See the attached PDF>>>>>FINISHER S1.pdf

Could you be more specific...in order to remove the finisher, the rails are catching. How do i get the rails to release from the guides? I do not work on this model very often, mostly segment 5 machines.

2 screws in the back, remove connector cover (2 screws) and 3 connectors. Remove cover under the handle/latch mechanism that is shaped like a triangle (1 screw) and remove the large cover by the latch (2 screws one on each side). There should be 3 more screws in the front that are holding it in place and you can see where those are located in the installation guide I posted previously. After removing them you can lift the finisher out of the machine. There is a section in the installation guide that has you put a holding screw back in to keep the bottom and top sections together. I would recommend doing this.
