Re: stripped eq5 worm gear

Bojan, they’re the ones that come up. I’ll try Bintel too.
There’s a LOT of play between this part and the main RA shaft that doesn’t look normal (this was after degreasing); doesn’t seem to be the case with the Dec assembly. The gear also has a number of hairline cracks in the cylinder itself: poor manufacture or stress, so a replacement definitely on the cards.
