Step Seven: Pull Process Unit Out
Carefully pull the process unit out.
Step Eight: Remove Drum Units
Pull up the two metal tabs, you will feel a little difficult to remove but it is acceptable to apply upward force. The presence of slight pressure is attributed to the springs on the developer assembly.
NOTE: Be mindful that exposure to light can result in damage to the drum units. To prevent such damage, it is recommended to either shield the units with a layer of thick, dark plastic or store it in a location such as a drawer to avoid any light.
Step Nine: Disconnect Developer Harness
Next, proceed by disconnecting the developer harness. Carefully guide the harness across the designated harness guides.
Step Ten: Unscrew Developing Assembly Stopper
Remove the screw that is holding the developing assembly stopper.

Step Twelve: Installing New Developer Units - Right Side
To correctly install the developer assembly, it is important to follow a precise procedure. Begin by inserting the two metal knobs into the plastic developer holder located within the process unit.
Step Thirteen: Installing New Developer Units - Left Side
Find two corresponding plastic holes where the metal stopper will be inserted. Then, install by inserting the two metal knobs into the plastic developer holder, and then align the other corner with the stopper.
Step Fourteen: Screwing Developing Assembly Stopper
Begin the process by securing the developer stopper in place using the appropriate screw.
Step Fifteen: Connect Developer Harness
Reposition the harness back into its designated placement. After successfully repositioning and connecting the developer harness, the installation of the developer unit is complete. Repeat this process for all developers as needed.
Step Sixteen: Install Drum Units
