Anybody know to open up this scopes base and fork?

Got a lot of backlash and want to try and reduce it, Anybody else done this?

Not a meade user anymore myself, but this might be a good starting point - Mapug-Astronomy Homepage for Meade Advanced Products Users Group of Amateur Astronomers Using Meade LX200 and other Meade Telescopes

Thanks for that link, will have a good look round it later.

Used the scope on the Moon last night in between cloud and the gearboxes are very noisy, hopefully a bit of tweaking and a good dose of grease will help that! Else I will be digging out an .mp3 player - Pink Floyd and observing the stars, bliss.
