NEQ6 RA stickiness

Hi,

On NEQ6 how "easy" should it be to turn each of the axis? I am talking about turning the axis by hand with the clutch released.

The DEC just "glides" extremely easily. It feels like there is no friction at all, I could just blow on it and it would turn.

On the other hand the RA axis is much stiffer. Much, much stiffer (even with no scope/weights on). It requires a significant push to turn and the guiding in RA direction sucks.

Is this normal? If not what to check? I have tried cleaning/regreasing it twice but it seems to be the same.

Thanks in advance.
