Awesome, Thanks Marc!
Do you know where to buy said white lube??
I have already done the RA and DEC gears with toothpicks.. took quite some time to do both gears and the worms, but they look brand spankin new now, so i guess it was worth it.. Luckily for me the RA/DEC gears are only 180 tooth in the GM8, not 360 like in your G-11
Just reassembled the mount with everything cleaned but no grease in the gears and the motion is already silky smooth in comparison to before... I'll strip it down again, give everything a once over with WD40, get some lube and then get it up and running!
This time when its in 1000 bits I'll get some photos.. This is the first time I've pulled a mount apart, I must say I was pretty proud of myself to man up and do it, and after seeing the grease (read: glue) on the gears, I'm very happy I did do it before trying the mount out..
PS - Clutches.. What a dream... Dinky RA/DEC axis locks on the HEQ5 are an annoyance... this clutch idea is one right out of the box isn't it!
Lovely!
