Primary secondary screws

[scarecrow]

I tried to collimate my 200p for the first time but I can't loosen any of the screws on the secondary. What is the best way to do this. Should I take the secondary out and out it in a clamp

Personally I would not take the secondary out unless absolutly nessercery. Have you tried loosening the center screw/bolt? This may help but you may rotate your mirror (not a problem just means a bit more work to get it aligned again)

The first time I did mine I did have to apply a little more force than I was comfortable with. Im not sure if they use some sort of thread lock solution during production perhaps.

Yes I'm guessing its the center screw thats stopping you from proceding. Always small adjustments....

I have never ajusted mine and all of the are too tight for me to undo. I have taken the mirror out to try and get it loose but its stuck solid. The adjusting screws are also stuck tight with is a pain as well. Looks like it will need to go in a clamp
