I do this semi regularly to reduce any potential mirror slop by respreading the grease on the baffle.
I used the washers between the orange plate and the OTA to get the baseplate to square in relation to the brass focusing rod. It was definately off and the rod would rotate in small circles (still does, but less), which prevents the focuser from stalling.

I may take the OTA apart and give it a good service, as weather has set in and it's starting to snow (of course... I just bought something)...
