Need Help HP Designjet 8000s exploded view or schematic

The company I work for has 2 HP Designjet 8000s's. One of them has recently started making a very loud noise that sounds like something in the lower pump housing in the gears are not aligned correctly and they are slipping or grinding. From what I can tell it's the gear that drives the shaft that activates the pumps. Before I jump into the rabbit hole on this I was looking for an exploded view or schematic of the the whole printer so that I could order the parts I will need.

Does anyone have anything like this?

Never worked on an 8k but did so on 9k and 10k and never had exploded diagrams for those.

The service station is a 1 part only. What i found is that when the cleaning cycle sounds extra fast and noisy and cleaning the heads seems ineffective - it is the shaft that drives the pumps which wears out just on the end that is gripped by the clutch bearing / one way bearing etc etc.
A silly design

Get the covers off and watch the pump gearing mech..if there is a heap of noise and no rotation - that is your problem

I made about 10 of them for under $200 where a new service station is $3k AUD

Ya I already partially took it apart to see what was going on and we determined it was the clutch bearing, just looking for a part number to see if we could order another one form some where. Where did you get yours made?
