The only way I can slew it without loosing my tracking is to push down on either side of the Alt bearing with a lot of my weight and then turn to slew. I am sure this isn't how it is meant to be.
Any thoughts from SW go to dob owners.

Hi Dave,
I had the reverse problem.
I found this document on adjusting the slip clutches.
It was in German so the translation may be a little sloppy in places.
Oh, with all the images it is over the file upload limit.
PM me with your email address and I will send it to you.
... and anyone else who wants a copy.
