Hi Fahim, yes well I can do a little tinkering/adjusting myself but a complete stripdown, clean, re-lube and re-assemble is something I am no happy to do. I do not have the relevant gear to measure or set tolernaces (eg feeler gagues) or torque wrench or any idea what gaps or torques should be set where - there is no workshop manual available as far as I know and details on the web are patchy so I am not really happy to have a go at a full service myself - so the question really boils down to this - is the general advice - if it is working leave it alone or is a there an amount of PM required to keep a GEM happy? If you do PM is that periodic or based on number of hrs of use?. From my inspection for example the grease appears to have migrated to the worm shafts from the gear teeth, pretty sure it is not doing any good there...
