Abstract
A process cartridge includes a rotatable rotary member having a plurality of bearing attachment portions to which bearings are attachable. The plurality of bearing attachment portions are provided on the rotary member with different diameters. A method of reusing a rotation member that is supported at one of a plurality of coaxial rotation surfaces having different diameters includes detaching one of a plurality of bearing members that supports the rotation member at the one of the plurality of coaxial rotation surfaces. Another of the plurality of bearing members is then attached at a corresponding other of the plurality of coaxial rotation surfaces that has a different diameter than the one of the plurality of coaxial rotation surfaces.
