Toner pump rebuild?

[mrfuser]

We have a bunch of the mpc4500 series toner pumps in the shop. Does anyone know if they can be rebuilt?

If you look at the bulletin, they re-designed the auger system. (bad engineering out of the gate) I would say it would be a waste of time trying to rebuild them.

If coluch works, so you can order a new pump rubber and open pump carefully then replace rubber ...
But as they said " it's wasting your time "

So who is selling the internal parts for the pumps?

Its really about is I like to take things apart and i work as an independant over 28years now.I dont
like the disposable mindset that techs i worked with before going solo all seem to follow,except a few.
What Ricoh gets to charge, like that small metal shaft piece you need when you do the transfer roller cases on the mpc3501 is crazy ...
I bought one and will make a few with my grinder,stone and tools in my workshop..even the metal plate i am making too..
the biggest issue i had with these pumps was taking them apart without breaking any tabs..but that i now have all figured out..

Just checked the dealer pricing and it is just over half of what you listed.
