HP LJ P3005 -- Gear Kit P/N KIT-P3005-GR

The kit consists of four gears. Worn teeth on these gears cause a great deal of noise.

1) Single flanged gear, 19t, 6.5mm bore. Rearmost lower position.

2) Tandem 17t/17t w/claw, 6mm bore. Rearmost upper position.

3) Single flanged gear, 20t, 5.5mm bore. Forward lower position.

4) Tandem 20t/20t, 7mm major bore. Forward upper position. (The bore diameter is reduced at one end. It's not possible to get the gear on its spindle the wrong way around.)

- The fuser must be removed for access to the gears. See this post for instructions.

- The gear at the forward lower position (item '3' above) is the one that wears the most.

- BE CAREFUL with the retaining clip at the forward upper postion. It's very easy to drop it into the works when removing it, and create a big dismantling job for yourself to retrieve it.

- The illustration (Figure 7-3) in the parts section of HP's service manual is incorrect. Items '16' and '19' are transposed from their actual locations.
