meade re-grease

Tuesday 22nd of July 2008 01:54:31 PM

Just got hold of some 'superlube' grease. the RA axis on my meade has quite a bit of play, when i took the bottom plate off i noticed the worm gear wasn't meshed with the main gear very well, because the grease that meade had applied had turned to syrup, i'll be taking it apart and posting a photo by photo account of the stripdown, i haven't seen any decent instructions on how to do this so hopefully other people with similar problems will find this helpfull.
