B&Q ??? I live in Canada... Don't have them here i think...

I got the EQ5... so i couldnt about the HEQ5... bigger i guess... more complex worm and gear system...

[Posting this in a new thread as its too large for the current EQ3-2 guided imaging thread]

Step 3

There are three hidden retaining bolts in the RA ring nut. Using a small allen key, you can carefully unscrew them by popping the allen key through the hole where the RA setting screw used to be. Be careful as these may fall out and down inside the assembly. I just let them drop out to the table by holding the mount at an angle.

Thank you for this!!! I was dismantling my EQ5 yesterday and got stucked on the part.. couldn't remove the axis from the actual mount... those 3 hidden screws played me well!!!

Didn't have lithium grease but the previous owner had put in SO MUCH yellow thick grease that the axis had a hard revolving withouth anyweights on it!
