Well it's finally all back together now and I've spent quite a bit of time adjusting the worm mesh to minimise backlash. I tested it tonight (indoors) under full load and it seems to be slewing nicely. Friday night is looking clear so hope to get some time under the stars soon.
It was a very rewarding experience to pull it all apart, find the problems, correct them and put it back together. Thoroughly recommended if you have it in you.
