Full stripdown and rebuild of the EQ6 R PRO Bearing replacement and hypertune. Sky Watcher EQ6 R PRO stripdown and rebuild, Hypertune. Follow me while I work through the complete job of hypertuning your EQ6 R PRO. This mount is almost identical to the Orion Atlas EQ-g and the newer Atlas II www.bearings-online.co.uk Now a link to a complete kit of the bearings needed - https://www.bearings-online.co.uk/bro... 6 x 6008 2RS1 deep groove roller bearings 1x 30206 tapered roller bearing 1x 32208 Tapered roller bearing 4 x 608 2rs - these were the bearings I used but I have told the correct replacement are the metal shielded 608 2z. The ones I removed were metal shielded like these. The 608 rs are a higher quality bearing to the 608 2z and I personally have had no binding issues using these although another user reported he did. Other hypertuning services like (https://www.deepspaceproducts.com/pro...) use the plastic sealed bearings as I did but I wanted to share what I was told so you can make your own choice.
