I would not touch the belt drive if i were you, as you could potentially create warranty issues, if in doubt ring Bintel and report it, or raise a ticket with Celestron Support. I have not taken the plastic cover off the belt drive area so i have not seen it, not sure i want to as my mount is working fine.
Mine is working fine as well - Another clearish night in Melbourne, so hopefully I can sort my guiding. I will use the short tube 80, and I will give metaguide a go.
