Focus Tube Removal

[Gerry Casa Christiana]

Hello all

I have a Skywatcher 150pds with a crayford focuser. Can I ask how I remove just the tube without removing the whole focuser. 

Here is the picture of the bottom of mine.

I`m not sure you can without taking the fixing screws however you could try just unscrewing the counter screw and tension screw. However I am pretty sure you have to take the whole focuser off.

just be careful when removing the 4 fixing screws that require an allen key to remove them, as behind the metal plate holding the focusing knobs there are 4 rubber o rings they sometimes have a habit of trying to escape.. just an extra bit of help for you
