engine.
Yep. Just did upper and lower feed rollers and transfer pads on my LJIIID.
Ran about $30 in parts and a lot of labor/time (I haven't been inside a
My experience is that he SX engine (I've never done a -D version, though)
is very modular. Many units (PSUs, scanner, motor, fuser, etc) come out
by just undoing a few screws. It's possible to completely clear off the
