I wouldn't replace that part , it rarely (if ever) wears out. If you're hearing grinding noise I would replace the fuser and the set of 4 drive gears first, before trying to replace that assembly.

You're right there aren't instructions in the Service Manual, no one has written any because it's a very involved repair. Probably have to "fly blind on that" if you decide to do it.

Here's a link to the article on common noises for this model --
