Remove the machine Z cover, Shroudshroud, and Lenslens, and Z drive.
| Note |

The Z stage will fall so please , make sure it is held upward firmly by another operator. |
Remove the M4 Screw hard stop at the top of the travel.
There are 8 screws holding the z stage on, 4 in each bearing block. I recommend using Use 2-4-6 blocks on the glass to support the z stage after it is detached, to avoid needing doing so will avoid the need to undo the igus/cables.
Once the screws are out, the old bearing blocks can be removed from the rail at the top of the travel, and new ones can be installed.
| Note |
|---|
The new bearing blocks go on in the right direction: text on the bearing blocks should align with the text on the rail!. |
| Note |
|---|
The new bearing blocks go on absolutely straight, slight twists can cause bearing balls to fall out of the bearing block!. |
Follow opposite steps to reassemble the machine.
