Step 2: Remove the paper bail assembly. (Refer to Section 3.2.6.7.)
Step 3: While pushing the tension pulley to the front, remove the CR timing belt.
Step 4: Remove the upper paper guide. (Refer to Section 3.2.6.8.)
Step 5: Using tweezers, unlock the locking tab of the tension roller gear at the left end of the tension roller
shaft, and remove the gear.
