Paul its very simple , if you are a member of the LX200gps yahoo group in their files section is a page that can be printed that shows which knob to turn while following diagrams/directiions for collimating while using a star outside focus. For some reason the kit doesnt have this info , if you have trouble finding it i can send a copy .
Installation is a breeze , follow the instructions exactly especially the first stage of taking just a bit of tension all three screws before you start taking one screw off at a time and replacing with a knob. Some problems occur where people have trouble getting the 2nd /3rd screw in because tension hasnt been released slightly.
My collimation was good before installing but the knobs put it out , that night it took no more than five minutes to get it back in shape and no hassles since . Thing to remember for future adjustment always tighten the knobs before collimating .

Cheers
