NEQ6 belt modification

[johnp51]

Hi to anyone who has done a NEQ6 belt modification, how on earth do you put both R/A and DEC motors back in through belts, when you can't see what you are doing, my wife and I have tried several time to do this and no luck so far, does anyone know of an easier way.

If you go on to YouTube there are several videos on "Neq6 belt mod"

You need a long pair of tweezers to clamp the belt while you slide the motor in and the clamped belt between the two pulleys....

hope that makes sense..

You could also google "astrobaby" and look for the neq6 strip down link it will have step by step instructions unless someone on here can post a link(Dave in Vermont) will have one.?

Also forgot to say, you have to slide the motor housing over the tweezers, and slide down to the belts....
