HP 5500ps uv - how to replace carriage nozzles (print head to carriage seal)

[vladio]

My cyan print head started getting air in the lines and after checking it the "nozzle" that the print head connects to for ink was worn out and not sealing. I was able to find new nozzles (I use this term because that's what the seller was calling them) in China. I received them and pulled the ink supply at the carriage out to see what they're going to be replaced. I don't see how they come out. Anyone try to replace these? I'm looking for instructions or an exploded view of the carriage assy.

Thanks in advance.

you can find the manual online
When I had a 5000 I bought a downloadable version cheap

I've seen the manual and am pretty sure they don't have this part as replaceable. I found a reman ink supply tube set for $300...might be a better option if I can't find the replacement procedures.

Just make sure you buy the right set of tubes, Dye or UV

ink tubes

I would replace the ink tubes. If you already have one nozzle seal going bad, more to come in the further. Don't buy a use one.

H4500 heads

The 5500 heads are a pressurized system. How are you getting air in the lines?
I have an ink starvation issue also but sucking air does not make sense
