I did the Rowan belt mod on my NEQ6 Pro, it was not hard to do. However, not all NEQ6 housing castings are trimmed the same at the factory. I had to use a Dremel tool to grind off abit of casting edge to allow one belt to pass through without rubbing on the casting. You need to be careful with belt alignment and adjust the worm pulley on the worm shaft if needed to achieve vertical alignment with the drive motor pulley. Certainly makes the mount quiet and it did significantly reduce gear lash. Importantly, you will learn alot about your mount by doing the mod. Rowan's instructions are good. Buy the worm shaft end cap removal tool.
