Problem removing printhead Phaser 8200

[tommyfp3]

Have exchanged/replaced many Phaser 840/850 printheads but I have a 8200 unit which I cannot break loose, lift and remove.

Any suggestions or techniques would be appreciated.

I've done many myself, and have had this same thing come up. Some just don't want to lift out. You just have to play with it and eventually it will come out. The one thing that does help a little is if you can lift one side and then press it back down, lift the other, and press it down, this usually breaks them free.

Thanks Tcouch

I was always able to barely lift the left side of the printhead but the right side would not budge.

I'm not that strong but I used plenty of muscle.

Eventually I was able to dislodge the right side by upward pressure from a heavy screwdriver to the very right side of the printhead iself . . . there was a small metal post to catch on. It instandly freed itself and I was home free.

Thanks for responding.
