A remanufacturing method for a process cartridge includes (a) removing the second
end cover at the other longitudinal ends of the drum frame, the developing frame
and the developer frame; (b) removing a drum shaft rotatably supporting the drum;
(c) separating the drum and the developing roller from each other; (d) moving the
drum outwardly from the process cartridge, so that the drum is inclined, and then
removing the drum from the drum frame; (e) inserting one end of a new drum such
that a driving force receiving portion is exposed outside the drum frame, and inserting
the drum shaft from outside of the drum frame; (f) opening a filling port provided
in the developer accommodating portion, refilling the developer and then closing
the filling port; and (g) fixedly mounting a second end cover to the other longitudinal
ends of the drum frame, the developing frame and the developer frame.
