Help!... Extracting micro-focuser from Edge SCT

[cshahar]

Hi Everyone:

I have two Celestron 9.25 Edge SCTs. I need to swap the starlight instruments feathertouch micro focuser knob from one SCT with the original focus knob on the other SCT. I unscrewed the three screws from both. But I am having trouble figuring out what to do next since the knobs don't easily come out. I noticed that in both cases the focuser assembly seems to slide out, but then what do I do? I don't want to break anything, as these are expensive pieces of equipment.

Any help would be appreciated!

You got me curious; if you have two 9.25 Edge's, one with and one without a Feathertouch, why would you want to swap focusers? Unless the one with the focuser is broke beyond repair.....

I got notification today that the Feathertouch focuser for my Edge 8" is on the way. Can't wait to install it.
