I've recently cleaned, re-greased and adjusted my HEQ5Pro mount. After going through a lot of degreaser (the Skywatcher "glubricant" had taken on a gum like consistency) I re-greased the small sealed worm bearings with PTFE 3-in1 spray, the worms and transfer gears with white lithium grease and all larger bearings and surfaces with Mobilgrease HP.
The mount has never been running this smoothly and effortlessly before. I wasn't able to completely get rid of the start/stop snarl when slewing, there are some resonances in the mechanism that aren't easily cured.
Cheers
Steffen.
