As I suggested in another thread, put a circular piece of Teflon or nylon down the bolt hole, so there is no metal to metal contact. You can also, as someone else suggested, push up on the under side of the scope
to ease the weight on the mount adjusters.

Thanks, yeah I need to give these a try...my mount doesn't move easily when the adjustment bolts are slackened in alt
