I don't suppose it makes much difference what sequence you do steps 2 and 3 in. I was fixated a bit on getting the primary aligned before adjusting the secondary. But if pushed, I cannot say why.

Actually it does. You need to nail the mechanical alignment first before anything else. What I did was to reset the tilt adapter, ie back of the 2 small hexes and snug up the box hexes till there was nowhere to go. That’s your start point, then adjust back till the focuser is aligned.

Then do step 2 and 3 then iterate as needed.
Without that 1st alignment you are pretty much flapping around.

Really was surprisingly simple in the end
