Celestron C8 SCT Focuser shaft reassembly.

[8324689]

Hello there I had to take my SCT apart as the locking nut from the focus shaft to the primary mirror fell off. That was no big deal I'm just having a bit of struggle trying to reattach the assembley. I'm looking for a proper exploded view of the C8 or if anyone has any direct experience of this I would be most grateful I'm more than willing to pay for a quick 10 minute Skype or WhatsApp to try and get it back together again !

 

I did the disassembly before Christmas and then went abroad for two weeks and I've come back I'm just a little bit stuck 

 

It shouldn't be a big deal but I'm just in quite a muddle 

 

Many thanks one and all and a happy New Year

Im a step closer as I realised this nut was missing from before the bearings. 

 

Still unclear how to get it all acting together though

Pictures or video while disassembling always helps me

Yes and me too but in this case I was taking off a feather focuser and attatching a stock focuser so is different
