Problem is I cant see any videos of a Celestron CGEM rebuild, anyone have recommendations? Would there be a similar mount rebuild instructions I can refer to disadsemble the mount? Also what is a good way to remove oil and stuck grease?
Any advice and words of wisdom is greatly appreciated, clear skies  |
WD40. Soak the bearings in there then rince and dry them and pack them back with bearing grease. If they're sealed bearings then leave them as is. For any other cleaning turp and a bucket with a brush.
