mfc-9340 fuser removal and or rebuild?

[fshead]

HI
I dont see many brother machines and the last time i had to pull a fuser unit many many years back,it was a real PITA..
someone asked me to ck out a MFC 9340 that is wrinkling copies on the outfeed and i assume the unit or rollers and pick off fingers are suspect.
before i waste my time going to ck out this machine,how easy or hard is fuser removal and can parts be gotten for rebuild?
thnx in advance

Fuser removal is easy, just replace the whole unit if necessary, parts are not usually available, just complete unit

thnx
i just wanted to make sure they changed their layout..
it looks like the same as the small ricoh faxes and copiers...
i found lower rollers and might look further for upper too if
the customer doesnt want to go for new complete unit, at least i make my labor charge..

There is a Service Update even for those units out of warranty for that issue ... as long as the unit doesn't have more than 50,000 pages on it Brother will replace the fuser at no charge to the end user... IF you are a certified Brother Repair tech... f1536 explains the parameters to get the replacement... or the customer can call Brother and have the fuser shipped to them for replacement.

thnx but i havent worked for "the big box stores" ie minolta,ricoh,sharp for close to 26 years as i could not deal with the politics
nor follow the clueless. Working solo has its good and bad but at the end of the day it works for me.

If you replace the fuser make sure to update the firmware too otherwise the new fuser will tank as well.
