C658 c-3102 error, fuser drive assembly?

[Albonline]

Main Symptom is the fuser stop turning😄. It will make noise. The rear shaft eats thru the bushing then the assy frame! The assy frame gets marred but survives. There where the drive engages and disengages by the slit where the transfer door interlocks in you will find greasy bushing dust that some times stops the fuser from engaging after opening the door.

One shaft and 2 bushings. Available to order. I just keep all the drives before machines gets eco dumped.

If the tech seats the fuser back gently and evenly it will help a bunch seat the fuser properly before fixing it down.
Get rid of the fuser AUX cleaning section at 400K. Does well without it. 1.2M yield is a pipe dream. Like mentioned 1M is the upper limit. More like 700K in my experience. Rebuild once get anther 300K from it.

its possible to replace the shaft and bushings without removing the drive unit.

Thanks for heads up. What parts you replacing in fuser drive and what are symptoms for you to start replacing procedure?

It's been a hot minute but if I remember correctly,,, First indicator is noise. As allan mentioned, the shaft will wear through the bushing on the drive side and sometimes even start wearing into the plate of the drive assemble A79K255600. If the clutches are really dirty we usually replace them at the same time, might as well since you've taken it apart this far.

Pretty much all of our 8 series needed to have their fuser drives replaced at 1 million, we kept a couple rebuilt fuser drives in stock and swapped out as needed.

The guy who did my initial training on copier repair swears by DeoxIT as a cure all:

Thanks for reminding me that I have some. I'm going to give it a shot. At this point it can't get worse

That's the revised version, correct?
Thanks!

Could not find a bulletin, but that is the updated number

always wanted to try spraying white vinegar in the rusty clutch and follow with IPA after 60 min.
the vinegar eats rust like a demon and would likely give the clutch plates new life but i didnt want anyones office to smell like a Salad-Hut.

I just use plastic safe contact cleaning spray with the pipe attached. Water will condense inside it, make sure to get it dry as quick as possible. I do this as a preventative measure on clutches around the 400K mark.

yup.
replace fuser drive assy.
and the fuser that gave it such a hard time turning.
or remove the cleaning roller to buy some time with it. <- saw you did already

[FuserNoob]

is there rust dust near the door hinge area by the fuser?

you mean like this?

[FuserNoob]

Since the fuser unit is much easier to replace id start with that

yes, that was the first thing we tried
