Replacement Laserwriter Toner Drum Blades

Let me know as soon as you try it out, if it works I'll get one as well.Got me that tool that allows you to open the cartridge. Only $5
Hopefully it will be easier to open the cartridge.
Wow, impressive results. Looks promising. That black line is simply caked on toner the blade can't fully scrape off. Try opening the large door on the bottom of the cartridge, and turning the drum until you see it, then gently wipe it off. Do this in a low light area.
If for some reason it starts ghosting, and you don't feel comfortable replacing the blade, I just got a new toner cartridge in today that I could replace the blade on for you. Also, if you wanted to ever sell those pliers, let me know (Or let me know if they work!).

Yes, I have opened the door and wiped the toner off twice already but it keeps coming back. When I turn the drum I don't even see the caked on toner, the drum is clean
Well, since the line doesn't repeat, it doesn't seem like a drum issue. I'd keep running it and see what happens. Do you see any sort of faint line on the drum? Would be a grayish horizontal line if it is damaged.
You can get those PinPal pliers on eBay for $8
I'm guessing that's a deformed PCR roller. I had replaced the wiper blade in a 98A cartridge and had the same symptoms. I took the PCR roller from another cartridge and swapped it in and my prints are now 100% perfect - like a brand new printer (LaserWriter 16/600 PS)
Now I know way more about how laser printers work than I ever thought I would!
Thank you for this bit of information! With this I was happy to order (overseas) one of those blades and attempt installing it into an old 3rd-party cartridge (compatible with the HP92295) on my NeXT N2000 laser printer, and I am happy to report that it was a success!
Does anyone know a current source for those Ames pin pullers? I couldn't find one. Inspired from a great tutorial video about these cartridges I went thru my jar of screws and found one that worked pretty well and I was able to pull the tabs out without damage.
