Tim,

It sounds like you are binding up from too much worm tension after the rebuild. With the spur gear covers off, you should still be able to turn the gears freely by hand (with power off). If you remove the motors, the gears should have just a slight bit of tension. The videos can probably show you how to adjust them as well as can be described here (I have the older non-spring-loaded type). The worm and ring should be lubed with the Losmandy original grease, the Jet-Lube MP-50, or you may have too much friction slowing movement. You should talk to whomever did you rebuild for more advice.

Good luck,
