The glue grease that comes as standard is horrible sticky stuff that gets thicker in the cold weather. I couldnt disolve it with metho or turps and ended up using paint thinner as a solvent.
I used a standard automotive grease to regrease . After regreasing with a lighter grease it becomes apparent that they used such thick sticky grease to hide the machining imperfections in the rack and pinion. Even with the rough spots in the movement, I found the exercise well worth the effort.
The GS crayford focuser is certainly a worthwhile upgrade, especially if they still sell for $100 ! I paid $170 to get one from the states before they were available here and still see it as good value for money.
