Below are your 20 easy steps to know how to remanufacture your HP 8100 LaserJet C4182X toner cartridge.

Step #1:

•Find and remove the cartridge clip on both sides of the cartridge using a small thin flat screwdriver. Gently pry up on the clip until it pops up then pry the other end away from the cartridge gently while working the clip in an upward and downward position.

Note: It is very likely that these clips will break while they are being dismantled. If these happen to break, simply replace the clip with an aftermarket part. You may need to re-use the springs from the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) clip.

Step #2:

•Using a hammer and punch knock the two locking pins inward until they fall inside.

Step #3:

•You can now separate the two halves of the cartridges. Simply remove the locking pins from inside (the longer pin goes on the large drum gear side).

Step #4:

•Set the toner hopper aside. If you happen to have a waste hopper fixture, set the waste hopper in it. If not, place the hopper on your work area; drum facing upward with the large drum gear facing you.

Step #5:

•The drum axle is a metal rod that goes through the center of the drum end to end. Using a drift punch and a hammer, tap directly on the shaft (larger gear end) and drive it toward the other end.

Note: On the larger gear end of the axle is a small white plastic retaining ring. Make sure you don’t lose the retaining ring. The ring fits into the groove on the drum shaft to hold the shaft into its proper position. Continuous removal will wear this ring and it will no longer snap into position. If the ring does snap, replace it.

Step #6:

•Rotate the hopper at 180 degrees and pull the drum axle the rest of the way out. Then remove the drum from the waste hopper. If you intend to re-use the drum, wrap it in a protective paper or cloth and set it aside in a dark, protected place.

Step #7:

•Remove the primary charge roller from its clips, clean it with a soft cotton cloth and set it aside for now. Clean the PCR saddles with a cotton swab and alcohol.

Step #8:

•Remove the two Phillips head screws holding the wiper blade and remove the blade. Be careful not to break the plastic positioning posts or lose the two white plastic washers. Empty out the waste hopper and clean it with a vacuum or compressed air.

Note: Be careful not to damage the recovery blade or foam seals, only replace it if necessary.

Step #9:

•Now you can either replace or clean the wiper blade and reinstall it at this time. Clean the PCR with a soft cloth and reinstall it. Place the drum in the correct position and reinstall the axle and the white plastic axle ring.

Step #10:

•Set the waste hopper aside for now. If you have a toner hopper fixture, place toner hopper inside or place toner hopper on your work area.

Step #11:

•Remove the two screws holding the end cap on the gear side of the toner hopper. Depress the small plastic clip and slide the end cap off.

Note: The position of the gears is for reassemble.

Step #12:

•Swivel or turn the cartridge around. Remove the two screws that hold the end cap on and remove the cap by depressing the small plastic clip.

Step #13:

•Lift out the mag roller. Remove the mag roller stabilizer, mag roller sleeve bearing from the non-gear side of the mag roller.

Step #14:

•Remove the two longer silver screws that hold the doctor blade and lift it out.

Note: Be very careful not to break the plastic alignment pins or lose the two small springs behind the doctor blade.

Step #15:

•Deposit the remaining toner from the toner hopper and vacuum or clean with compressed air. Clean the magnetic seals with vacuum or compressed air. Clean the toner sensor bar lightly with a cotton swab and alcohol. Be careful not to bend the bar.

Step #16:

•At this point, if you are not going to seal this cartridge, you can fill it with toner now through the mag roller opening. Then proceed to the next step. If you want to split and seal the toner hopper it must be done so, along the weld line.

Step #17:

•After splitting the hopper and installing a gasket seal add the toner through the fill plughole and reinstall the plug. Use rail clips or hopper clips to re-attach both pieces of the hopper back together, being careful of correct alignment.

Step #18:

•Put the doctor blade back on with the two silver screws and the blue plastic tab on the right. Clean the magnetic roller with compressed air or ma roller cleaner and carefully reinstall in the hopper with the drive gear to the left.

Step #19:

•Now reinstall both end caps with their screws. Note: the magnet inside the magnetic roller must be in the proper position to align with the “D” cut-out on each end cap.

Step #20a:

•Hang in there, you’re almost done. For the final assembly, position the waste hopper and the toner hopper against each other and install the locking pins and clips. Note: The long pin goes on the large drum gear end.

Step #20b:

•Test the cartridge.
