Hello, I know this is an old post, but I'm raising it back because I found myself in the same situation while trying to disassemble the fine adjustment knob in order to install a focuser motor. I'd already started to disassemble the focuser to reach and release the three balls shown in the diagram in the previous replies when, during the process, I casually figured out that for the Moonlite's crayfords (mine is a CHL 2.5, the one for edge SCTs, but this could be probably the same for other Moonlite models) the thing it's easier to solve: After you remain with the fine-focusing shaft in your hand.. You have to remove the coarse knobs from both sides; then by pushing (and hold, there's a spring) the shaft of the coarse-adjustment side, the whole 'balls mechanism' will pop up giving enough room between the balls to insert back the fine-focusing shaft; then releasing the pressure on the coarse-adjustment shaft the mechanism is pulled back again by the spring, engaging the fine-adjusment shaft . I attached a video that shows how the mechanism pops up pressing the coarse knob shaft, when is out the fine-adjustment shaft can be insered back. Video 2020-11-21 at 16.17.10.mp4 That's it. I wanted to share this here because this is the first and only link/post/thread I found searching online for help about this specific issue with this specific focuser brand so. Hoping the above is understandable and could help someone in the same situation that walks past here as I did. Stefano
