Cricut Explore Air 2 Roller Bar Replacement

Introduction

If you need to replace the roller bar, use this guide to access and remove it. If the roller bar becomes excessively scratched or damaged, consistently gets stuck, or does not roll properly, it may need to be replaced.

Use the Front Door Replacement Guide as a prerequisite to access the interior parts of the Cricut. None of these steps are extremely difficult, but the maneuvering of the Cricut shell to access the roller bar requires careful attention, as it would be easy to break something.
