<p>The present invention provides an apparatus for allowing the resurfacing a cylindrical member in a printer having a fuser member that is externally- heated by a heater roller. The apparatus includes providing a cylindrical member (110) having an outer surface of a high temperature fluorothermoplastic. When it is determined that the outer surface is in need of resurfacing, the fuser member is removed from the printer, and the cylindrical member is mounted in the place of the fuser member. The cylindrical member is rotated at a speed of at least 1 rpm while engaging the outer surface of the fuser member with the heating roller normally used to heat the fuser member at a pressure of at least 5 psi at a temperature of at least 10°C below the fluorothermoplastic melting temperature for a time sufficient to resurface of the outer surface of the cylindrical member.</p>
