Need help repairing my MK3S

I have bought these parts because my printer got damaged during transport.

Is there a way to swap out the damaged parts without disassembling the whole printer? Or do I have to redo the assembling guide in reverse until I reach the parts?

Any help would be appreciated!

Maybe my question was not clear:

 

I have a already assembled printer that got damaged during transport. The parts you see on the pictures, are the undamaged, new ones, which I bought from the official Prusa store. My question is how to replace the broken ones on the printer with these, without disassembling the whole printer (if possible).

I was just asking if printer was new assembled . As you should be able to send it back to theme for theme to repair

You will need to take the whole printer apart to replace theme basically there isn't really a guide belt needs removing motor drop lifting x belts off motors etc maybe look at the mk3s+ build instructions or live chat prusa to help guide you

You are going to have to do a partial disassembly - and be very careful with the bearings if you didn't get replacements are they are easy to damage when removing them...

Look through the manuals, in effect the build is a set of modules that could be seperated but which are easiest to build in sequence - you can remove and replace many of them out of order 'though you often have to undo the cable management in order to get enough freedom of movement.

The huge advantage of building your own is the confidence and experience you have when addressing this sort of fix:  Take a look at some of the build videos on youtube to get a second-hand feel for the underlying build of the parts you are replacing.

and come back here if problems occur.

Cheerio,
