Heq5 "Hypertune"

Hi All,

Wondering if anyone has done a "Hypertune" or similar to their Heq5's? There's loads of info for the Eq6, but not it's smaller bro.
I'm curious if it's worth the expense or not, or even whether to buy a kit from say Deep Space Products or just source the bits I need myself.
I do know the worm bearings are the same as you get from skate shops, 6006Z I believe, but finding the Teflon washers is a bit more difficult. The main reason I'd like to Hypertune my mount is that my RA axis is quite stiff, making balancing my kit a right PITA.
Any links, thoughts, experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I should note that the previous owner of my mount tuned it using AstroBaby's guide, and I've done away with the gears and using belts now.

Cheers,
Chris
