Hi guys, I was so frustrated with my CGEM that almost led me to buying a seconds AVX but I'm glad I did not.
I was getting "C" shaped stars so I wondered what the culprit was. Found out the tappered roller bearing on the RA axis was a bit warped so I tore down the mount.
Given I need to replace the RA axis bearing, I also have some questions in mind:
would it be better if I replace all bearings or is it not necessary? Planning to leave the old bearings inside the worm wheels and only relace the besrings in the RA and Dec steel casing.
Also the dec tappered bearing seems heavy duty should I replace this too?
The dec axis tapered bearing has red grease in it, is it good or should I replace it with superlube?
How much grease should I apply on the tapered bearing? The dec axis is overflowing with red grease. Should I do the same with superlube?
Cheers guys, clear skies
