I have two 4" refractors that have collimatable cells. The easiest way is to put the lens cap on and use a cheshire eyepiece. Centre the reflections from the convex surfaces. NB - first ensure your focuser is square to the tube.
Obviously if you don't have a collimatable lens cell you can only find out if you have a problem this way.
Cheers
Andrew.
