Canon MF6680dn, MF6160dw, MF6180dw Fuser Removal Procedure

The fusers in these machines don’t really tend to have duty cycles. For the most part I see them last anywhere from 150,000 to 200,000. My honest opinion is that they probably should be replaced around 100,000 to avoid downtime and image defects around the edges of the paper. The illustrated instructions below should be pretty straight forward. It looks harder than it is. You might not need to remove the left side cover, just the left rear cover, depending on the model. Two other things that make the job go smoother is to make sure that you have the duplex sensor in the right position when you install the back cover and it is easier to install the fusing unit gears before you screw the unit to the frame.
