Remove the machine Z cover, shroud, lens, and Z drive.
The Z stage will fall, 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. Use 2-4-6 blocks on the glass to support the z stage after it is detached, 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.
Make sure the reference surfaces on the Z stage that mount to the pads are clean, dry, and free of all dust and particles.
