Meade Focuser Help

My 14" Meade LX200 ACF seems to developed a focuser and / or focuser lock problem.

The focuser seems "soft". When after much effort I got the scope to focus, I turned the focus lock to the lock and lost focus by so much, that I could then achieve focus using the the Meade Zero shift focuser.
There also seems a lot of image shift when focusing.

Can anyone offer suggestion or help on doing maintenance on the focuser.
I am in Ipswich, SE Qld.

After this a bit of help on collimation would also be helpful.

Brendan
