Hi,
no videos I'm afraid apart from one on adjusting the gear mesh on youtube.
The guides I have seen are good though.

This ones for the older but similar CG5 http://astronomyboy.com/cg5/

This is the angle bearing I used on the RA although it does leave a slight gap as mentioned in some threads but it made a huge difference to RA stiction
It's easier than I thought I didn't even need to remove the RA from the mount part.
It certainly made things less sticky and balancing became a lot easier although performance wasn't much better.
Good luck,
Rob.
