Hi all,
just thought I'd post an observation I made while overhauling my HEQ5 mount recently. The main aim was to remove the black glue (Synta grease) from the drives.
When fully disassembled, I found that the RA worm gear was locked down very tight, and it took a reasonable amount of force to turn it by hand.
The solution was to loosen off the "lock nut / collar" that holds the end of the bearing enough so that the gear now turns easily.
Haven't had a chance to try it out but logic tells me it should be better than it was.
Apart from replacing the grease, I reckon the overhaul was worth it just to fix that problem
cheers
Mark
