It is under warranty, so I have no option but to demand an inspection and repair.
I took the cover off the RA, and regreased. What I did notice, is that one of the pulleys is misshaped, It dosn't seem to be properly machined, and the flanges are misshaped. This looks to force the belt to the right on the top, yet runs to the left on the bottom pulley - that simply couldn't be good.
With COVID, lord knows when I would be able to send it for repair, let alone get it back.

You did not mention the mount was still under warranty before, did you. In that case i withdraw my offer. Your resolution path should be to work through the designated Celestron Support people.
I believe the only Authorised Celestron Service Facility in Australia is Bintel, but perhaps now they send all warranty work to TASCO at Brookvale NSW. TASCO is the importer and exclusive agent. In the past, there was a national product manager for Celestron, and he was the one that made decisions about replacement of equipment. You may have to navigate the hierarchy of murky world of importer, agents, etc.
I would suggest you do not tamper with the mount.
