i don't really want to move the primary mirror... was it difficult?
It is not difficult to move primary. First you test your setup on star and see if it comes to focus or not. I have skywatcher 200mm f/5 which comes with extension tube, so I believe I can get the focus with prime focus(still need to try).

I used long screws and spring bought from bunnings to achieve focus the my old f/4. The other alternative is cut the tube.
