If you can't take apart a C500 drum then your not much a technician, sorry to tell you the truth. The C500 is the worst machine for a print shop enviroment and the cost to keep that thing running is out of control PM kit at a 100k then another at 200k, yea no wonder your not making any money.

Don't blame democracts and computers on your failure as a business owner, try to tone down the attitude if your going to ask for help on this board.

Get rid of the C500 and get something else to run your 4 color work. Just a tip from a democract, Mr know it all that can't take apart a drum unit.

Thanks, friend. I believe I was able to decipher what you had written, after inserting all the missing periods in your sentence. I am quite confident none of the other readers or responders felt any "attitude" directed towards them; but rather towards third parties only--mainly the printing business in general, which I hate. But then, those fellows weren't Libs; and can be communicated with. Merry Christmas. ooops, I forgot my political correctness: Happy Holidays, Lib.

Anyways, I took apart a C500 drum and found velvet furry pads at the ends of the drum frame, they are cleaners.

-Remove pressure springs for the blade then one screw for each side remove blade holder which are white.
- black spring holders on each side remove them
- remove the long white gear on one side to remove bearing, there's a phillip type screw in the gear that you could unscrew.
- bearings are held in by screws remove them, I just had to remove one side then slid the drum to one side and it came out.
- Remove drum then you'll see the velvet pads, try to reglue it and hopefully it stays

Goodluck, hope this helps, Merry Christmas.
