The one in this video is actually easier to remove than the one I had to remove, but the steps are still similar.

The original one had these pair of black (ground) wires with a small nylon connector connecting to another thing (as well as 1 or 2 others, but I'm focusing on this particular one). The thing was very hard to remove. I thought I'd try to be careful, but ended up pulling one of the wires out.

I soldered it back to its metal connector here at home. Seeing as how the part that heats up is ruined anyway, that will be my back-up plan... To put the old one back in, then call our hardware support and be all like; "Golly, this here printer sure seems to be acting weird. You think you guys can send us a new one?"

After putting it mostly back together, I ended up with 2 extra screws. I wasn't sure where they went, but it probably won't be a problem when it comes time to putting the new fuser back in.
