Send it here Richard - I did my new-to-me GPD recently in both axes, and it is smooth as silk. Just remember when you loosen the castle nut to replace the grub screw TIGHTLY, otherwise it will start tightening itself over time and become stiff again.

I lost one of the delrin/teflon shims when final reassembling (insert head slap emoticon), so I'll have to wait to try it out when a replacement comes in.
