How bad can it be right now, that makes you think it needs drastic action. Hypertuning usually refers to some part replacement or machining.
The backlash is incredible, and it is impossible to balance, the stiction is so bad, releaseing the clutches, it is lucky to get to the bottom of one arc, let alone swing back. Counterweights on, no OTA. I was considering that perhaps it needs a relube.
