I have had my mount (HEQ5)serviced and some extra bit done to make life easier by Glenn at GTS Engineering at Gorokan NSW (Central Coast).
Phone number is 02-43924904 and was done in a couple of days.
Cost me $220.00 to strip down clean out original grease repack bearing and adjust. And just a service in the furture about $150.00.
They also shortened the legs of my tripod and machined the surfaces of the head on the tripod flat and level. (at extra cost)
Getting it there and picking it up was at my own expence.
Hope this info is helpful.
