Seriously, just to change the small rubber rollers you have to disassemble all maker? Why did they make it so hard? Cricut should have some kind of service to fix stuff like that. Yo buy expensive device and you can’t use it if your rollers get worn out. Such a shame. I’m so disappointed. I don’t have any skills to do it myself.

This is definitely the best step-by-step video for how to do this. It took me a bit longer than it should have, but with my hubby and son's help, we got it done. The hardest part is those damn 7 screws that are so hard to get at! And, of course, we kept dropping the c clamps. LOL. But thank you! Very thorough and well presented!

If you need to fix quickly and don't have time to wait for amazon rollers, OMG THIS WORKS!! Go to any auto parts store, get 5/16 fuel line tubing ($3.50) cut off your bad rollers with scissors, use bad one to measure and cut same size from fuel line. Cut through the middle and wrap around the metal bar where the roller was, pushing load until it wraps around. Mine did not close all the way, but it still worked just fine! I later cut a piece of painters tape to size and wrapped that around also. I also pushed one white plastic roller all the way over against the tubing. It was going to be a temporary fix but is still going strong and since I still have 10" of fuel line left I think I will just leave it 'and replace if it fails.

I tried putting it back on at the end and it fell into that little space under the wheel but under the entire cricut and I struggled for a good hour attempting to put it back on due to that. My cricut had this weird goo stuff on a gear I kept touching and it was a mess.l also suggest to buy the kit on amazon with the tools.I went to walmart and attempted to buy the star piece and it didn't come in the bit set I got =( . Overall though this tutorial helped alot and I was able to replace my rollers. OH!!! Life hack!

To soften them. They are a really hard rubber. Not squishy like the original rollers. Thanks for checking the video and asking the question.

Did the rollers spin when in the correct position?

the old ones or new ones? The new ones should be tight to the metal bar and only roll with the metal bar during the action of the machine. Thanks for checking out the video appreciate the support!

@@theZimvideo thank you for your reply. I was asking about the new ones. We just put on a different brand from the one you used. They spin freely when in the proper position. Is your maker the original maker or is it a maker 2 or 3?

I am unable to get the bar removed. It’s like it’s stuck on the left

Assuming you removed the clamp, give it a intense giggle as you try to slide it to the right. you could also try to spray some WD-40 or pour a little olive oil on that area and see if that helps it move for you. Good luck and thanks for supporting the video I appreciate it!

Probably the bar will shift left and right might make your cuts inaccurate.

I got it all the way to taking out the roller bar. Ugh the right side the hole between the case is off set. so much for easy fix.

I figured it out! two screws on the edge of the metal base and gently pried it up to open the hole for the roller bar end.

Giggle it as you press to the right. Good luck.

I didnt see you put the support bracket back on the left...Also, I have filed a class action law suit because it seems like more than half of owners have this issue and ALL told to go buy a new one...filling the landfills with perfectly good machines. Cricut doesnt offer ANY repairs at all, not even for a fee. If its within the first year, they just ditch the machine and send a new one. Ridiculous. (I thank you for this video though!! It was wonderful.)

Hey thanks for the comment! Yes I just talked through the left side on reassembly I didn't show but I completed all the steps. Yeah I agree it's bad business to not have ways to fix machines or good customer service. I'll keep an ear out for the class action lawsuit. good luck.
