I have received the new fuser gear for my xerox xc830 and removed the broken one. What is the easiest way to install the new gear?
Thanks again for your help.
1. remove front cover which is over the paper tray - 2 screws and then unflange and wiggle off.
2. take out toner cartridge and drum cartridge.
3. there is a screw on the top left of the plastic cover over the fuser roller - unscrew it and then wiggle off the plastic cover.
4. there is a little green screw on the right rear of the fuser roller assembly - unscrew it.
5. remove the 2 white plugged in wire things to the right of the fuser roller (right one snaps on top and left one snaps on the inside right).
6. take fuser roller assembly out of machine.
7. loosen screw on left on top of brown riser and loosen 2 screws on right that hold the wired part down - carefully remove the glass heat element, taking care not to touch it with your fingers. if it is touched with fingers, need to clean it with alcohol to prevent the grease from reflecting the light back into the element.
8. remove the lock ring on the right of the cyclinder and then the gear wheel will be removable and replaceable.
remember to take digital photos of it before you dis-assemble it so you will be sure you're putting it all back together right.
You need to remove the lower front cover, I think its 2 screws.
Then on the back of the fuser where the gear is there are a couple of plugs to disconnect.
On the front of the fuser there is a shoulder ***** to remove and then gently manipulate the fuser till it comes off. You have to be careful not to break the heat rod inside the heat roll.
Once you remove the fuser there is a copression ring that holds that gear in place. No big deal, just finger pressure will remove it. Slip the gear on with the drive slot in place and reassemble the fuser.
Not all that hard, just take your time, note how your disassembling the machine so you don't wind up having to take it apart more than once. Been there lol.
I wouldn't recomment trying to force it on from the back of the machine, remove the upper fuser to allow yourself room to work.
When you do have the upper fuser out, you may also want to take some soapy cleaner like fantastic oor formula 409 and clean the pressure roll, the pink softer rubber roller.
If that lower roller is badly grooved you may want to consider ordering one. Most of the time that doesn't cause print defects, but if you notice areas of the print wiping off, then I would recommend replacing that.
Give yourself, I would guess 20 minutes to a half an hour.
LOL, Why did ***** get blanked out?? hahahaha. Where it is ******ed out I mean bolt, threaded fastner.
One of those fastners you use a phillips or slotted tool to remove, Thats funny.
I am sorry, I was referring to the cover above the paper tray, White wrap around cover .
When you open the **** shell, you will see a white cover just above where the paper tray is. There should be on ***** on each end of that cover. You have to give it a little twist to remove.
If you dont have that resolved I will look around in the morning for a PDF service manual.

Thanks for the method. I need a little clarification. Is the 'lower cover' the fuse lamp housing? Is it necessary to remove the main document cover to gain access and if so is that complicated. I just wondered if there is an exploded repair manual document online anywhere so I can get a good look at how it is assembled. I have typed in 'Xerox XC830 repair manual' without much luck. Thanks again for your help.
Hello and thanks again,
I think that I really need that PDF service manual. The situation 'under the hood' is not revealing itself to me. If you have any link I would really appreciate it.
Eureka!!
I am up and running again thanks to your pinpoint guidance and patience. Many thanks for your insight.
Thanks again.
