Thanks Glen. I forgot to mention that I did not touch the bearings. I have read lots of bad stories about people washing the grease out of them so I decided to leave them.

Also my EQ5 only has bearings on the DEC worm shaft. The rest is metal cylinders inside metal cylinders and also things being supported on plastic washers.

And during the assembly it was hard to turn even before I added the worm drive.

Edit:
Thinking more, if over greasing can cause bearing drag, then most likely too much grease is causing my problems. I may disassemble it tomorrow and remove some grease. Thanks again!!!
