G'day all,

The clutches on my Losmandy GM8 have been becoming increasingly hard to tighten. It seems like I am always having to tighten them as much as they will go, applying quite some force, where as I used to have to only tighten them half as much to stop the axis moving. Both RA and Dec have degraded the same.

Does anyone know if there is some simple adjustment/maintenance I should make to them to bring them back to their former glory?

Thanks,
Roger.
