I stripped the lot down and cleaned the "glue for grease" out, buffed some of the internals to take some of the rough spots of them and regreased. I was a bit slap dash about it and now wish I'd taken my time and done it properly. There is a good site for how to go through the process. There is also a review on how to improve the Tripod on CN. This is the tripod link:

http://www.astronomyboy.com/cg5/index.html . I haven't done the tripod improvements but the mount worked much more smoothly. I'm thinking of selling the Celestron and mount. I f I decide to I won't redo the mount, if I decide to keep it I'll definately redo it.
