[copyman]

Got it on the way from ARC... Thanks Copyman!!

Glad to help

Try that other one I suggested, ARC. They are big Kon/Min distributor. Many times I've ordered parts and were shipped directly from Kon/Min.

There are dozens of companies that sell genuine Kon/Min parts. Precision roller is a little higher prices but can order anything you want. I use ARC in CA.

We don't have a direct relationship with KM...

Can't you contact members from forum and buy from them?

[FuserNoob]

Are you ordering directly from KM in the US? I just punched the part number into the system and it states that it is available to ship right away. For the hell of it, I bumped that number up to 10, and it stated that 3 were available to ship right away, so KM has at least 3 assemblies in stock in the Midwest warehouse.

The drive assembly that I had on order has been pushed back a month. Does anyone have a source (in the US) for A79JR71655 ?

Thanks again all!

As other's have stated though, if it's only the clutch that is bad, I'd just pick up the clutch. Much cheaper in the long run, and way easier to replace without removing the whole drive assembly, which is a bit of a PIA.

I've never replaced the whole fuser drive unit, only the fuser drive clutch inside the drive unit. I've also had success taking the clutch apart and cleaning. I know it's sometimes easier to just replace parts but my old school way of thinking is to get machine working costing the least amount of money. Even did this when I worked for big companies and it wasn't my money!

Most likely the fuser drive clutch will be in stock.

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

Nope. Its possible to do the clutch with the assy installed on the machine but not the shaft. That is caged in there with C-clips and pins. Accounting for what needs to be done it takes a good 2 hours to complete that service. 55min if the force is with you.

Thank you very much for that. One minor correction - part number for item 12 is A161702200 Bushing.

Oh, yeah, lol sorry, was going back and forth comparing my notes, manuals etc and labeled it incorrectly. I read your quote and was like "yeah, I know that's the part for it, what did I do?" lol old eyes.

[tsbservice]

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.

when rebuilding the old drive unit replace the bushings with roller bearings, they are a bit more noisy but last longer.
