The mod kit that came out for the fuser unit where you change out the house and switch from oil lite bushing to a ball bearing. Am I the only one have problem with this mod I am finding the bearing falling apart and riping out the gear. Lucky I save all the oil lite bushing. and I can put the old bushing back in.



Have you hug your kid or grandkid today

I believe this is addresed in another thread, but we have had better luck with the mod kits by lowering the fuser pressure slightly.
