3550idn Frame busted

Re: 3550idn Frame busted

It's surprisingly not that hard to get out:

Remove all the consumables (you'll be flipping the machine sideways, upside-down, every which way)
Remove side covers
Remove paper tray, bottom crossmembers, paper pickup unit, duplex guides
From right side remove three screws holding inner right cassette rail
It will come out with some cursing at this point.

=^..^=

Are the screws holding the inner rail accessed from the outside, or inside where the frame is? And thanks for your help.

Re: 3550idn Frame busted

it's been a while for me, but isn't there a gear that should be popped-off to make clearance for the unit to come out?

Almost there, but for the life of me I can't get the rear door off!

And it's out.Thanks again for the help.

Only used 20 cuss words so I have at least 10 left for reassembly.
