    Replacing fuser belt on C6500 & someone didn't replace "fusing jigs" .. now what?

    Bought this C6500 recently... was supported by KM since it was new. What kind of mfg's tech wouldn't put these jigs back? Sheesh.

    What can I do in this situation?

    Just replying I found a solution... all those jigs do is hold down that springed bar to "loosen the pressure off the fusing belt". So you could literally use a couple keys or something that fit in the slots. I found some metal angle brackets that fit perfectly in there. Something like this... https://image.shutterstock.com/z/sto...-560791036.jpg

      i never used the jigs, i would just push down and pop the bearings on.
      didnt even know what those funny "L's" were screwed to the front til 5 or 6 years after i was working on them.
      We know a thing or two because we've seen a thing or two.
      The medication helps though...
