It would be a lot easier if I took the spider out of the tube, but I'm really scared of having to do a full collimation from the start.

Been there, done that! I took the primary and spider out and did the whole tube (12"). I quickly worked out I'm not 12" in diameter

In hindsight, I should have cut the A4 sheets down into more managable sizes (i.e. A5), as it was really tricky getting an A4 down on the inside of the OTA smoothly.
