Hi guys. I did the same thing for my R&P on my refractor (same glue grease). I rang Bintel and asked what they used for regreasing. Super Lube synthetic grease from Wagners Electronic Services, in Ashfield Sydney. Great stuff. While it didn't turn my R&P into a crayford, the improvement was substantial. Also used it for regreasing the entire mount head. Unfortunately I found I had the same problem Starkeler getting the old glue out. I'm not sure I did a good enough job on the mount head, but the focuser was great.
