My ex-boss upgraded to...

If the machine had been flushed it should still have cleaning fluid in the lines etc.
Also pulling ink through or pushing it...
Thanks for the info.

Which is good as I am not keen on the replacement job.

Can you show me how i get to the rear lower bearings?
Are the lower rear bearingassemblies only held in with one screw and the whole assembly comes off?
Can I remove and replace these easily?
