    I just had this and it got really loud on a C454. Only way I got rid of it was replace the "small bearings" in fuser. These are common bearings used is many models, finishers, etc. Also same as the one that disengrates in the C654 fuser cleaning roller.

      I replace them. YPP claim if possible, usually can get full or partial credits. Not worth the trouble to try to grease them IMO. By the time you remove the unit, take it apart and guess where to grease, I could have replaced it. Most of the times the bearings rust out anyways.

        I fully agree with the ypp, i like my time better. 3 year warranty exchanges great for those pesky hdds too

            I know what YPP is but didn't think it's worldwide. In case whole fuser is not covered/reimbursed and client complains after only 20-30% of fuser life expired dealer has to pay for new fuser. I know best way is new one FOC from KM but someone may know way to save those fusers...
