Not with the 20lbs of spring pressure unfortunately.
As a temporary, I drilled the broken off shaft #37 (coat hanger size), drilled the bracket again #37. Then epoxied in a length of coat hanger wire. I would have liked to let the epoxy cure longer, so the resulting piece wasn't quite as well aligned as I might have liked, but it was mostly indestructible. I might still have it around, someplace. =^..^=

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

Thank you Sir! it truly is broken(if you examine the picture closely enough, you could see where the spring ended up:-))
i was wondering why this thing is flapping in the breeze already...^^
I am stunned by your remote-diagnostic-skills and obviously long experience in the field. Hatīs off to you Sir!

Thank you Sir for contributing to my innocent stupidity by providing an affordable solution to one of the "hidden beauty mistakes" my Dumpster-Girl had hidden under her weighty belly
as i am an r/c guy as well i do have experience with shredded wheel-hexesmy favorite cure: epoxy+ metal-rods!
hopefully my skills will be enough to give your fix a shot:-)
thank you for posting, very much appreciated!!!!
Good thread to read. At least you returned us the faith that someone untrained and obviously inexperienced has the thinking and will assist to the best he can in truly respectful way. Wonderful!photo_2020-09-30_17-18-45.jpg

Sometimes small miracles happen
A tree is known by its fruit, a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost, he who sows courtesy, reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
Blessed are they who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.
I don't reply to private messages from end users.
I've noticed that you keep a database that's complete with pictures of your fixes/solutions. That's the way its done as its hard to remember all of it and you can refer back to the information if/when you run into it again. Props.
There are plenty of tricks to keep these machines running. Rebuild kits for the units.
Humor yourself and get a quote for one of the image units. Also check what a new replacement is worth.
Pricey stuff.
You might be supersized that there are plenty of them in the bin somewhere out there.
Awesome printer to have for printing tens of thousands of prints a month.
Please take pics of your repair and then print some half-tones from service mode.
Print them at 150 out of 255 and post that.
What are you going to do with the machine, home printing use?
Great of you to bring it back to use.
What is the meter count on the machine?
Check the consumable life.
Whatever

You have an advantage on me: I had other calls to get to, and I could only let the epoxy cure ~60 minutes. You can get it aligned perfectly and let it sit the full 24 hours ... even better 48. Yes please post your results. =^..^=

well, she ainīt that pretty tbh
used a 2mm drill bit on both the broken pieces, cut the strait side of an r-clip and epoxied both parts together.
luckily i found the broken off plastic piece squeezed in between the right hand door and the paper exit conveyance assy (please no pitchforks if this part is actually called otherwise-please educate me here!! It was quite a hassle to actually find out what is the name of the darn thing is mounted on the door.... other than the duplex unit too, if i remember correctly???
unfortunately the bigger white washer on the "spring-side" is gone. where exactly...nobody knows
the 2 metal washers i will use almost resemble the same thickness of the silicone washer which i measured from the good working left side.
i will let cure the epoxy for a little bit more and report back later
Nice! =^..^=
