In this video I will disassemble the SkyWatcher HEQ5 Pro and rebuild it using high quality SKF ball bearings and SKF high quality, low temperature ball bearing grease. It is the final step in modifying and adjusting the mount to push it to the limit in terms of performance and guiding. Don’t forget to check out my previous videos on how to adjust the backlash on the mount and how to install the Rowan belt modification.
Ball bearings needed for this exercise:
4 x 689 2RS
6 x 6006 2RSR
2 x 30205
