Re: Resetting spring-loaded worm
If I unscrew the back-off screw I should see that the gears offer great resistance as a consequence of the worm getting pushed to the gear, right?? Well, this is not the case. If I unscrew the

Re: Resetting spring-loaded worm

Re: Resetting spring-loaded worm
Sorry to bump up an old thread, but I would like to confirm if the 1/3" (8.5mm) spring length applies for both axes. In my mount RA came with the factory 8.5mm but DEC is at 6.7 mm and I suspect that
