    Is there a step by step guide to replacing Carriage Bracket and bushing sleeves on the R2?

    I just got some parts in from partsbuild.com, so basically stock tensioners / belt...

    The upper carriage removes from the top. First pop out all of the 6mm shafts by pushing down. Remove all of the screws around the top of the carriage (8). Remove the screws on the side of the stepper motors. Unplug the cables from the print head. Unplug the two end stop cables. Unplug the two stepper motor cables. Lift the carriage out. Only remove the 8mm shaft you are working on. Make sure you keep the order of the spacers correct. Keep track of the 8mm shim washer that is on the shaft.

    Replace the Carriage Bracket and reverse.
