[QUOTE="moonbase, post: 1016799, member: 178786"] CJ, Would you please be able to provide a link or point me in the right direction to the supplier that you used for the replacement bearing inserts? Also, did you replace both top and bottom bearing inserts on the polar mount and were the top and bottom bearing inserts identical? I might replace the bearing inserts on the Precision 2.2m polar mount but the top and bottom outer bearing housings on it are different. The top bearing housing is an ASAHI FT203, same as yours. Without dismantling the polar mount I am unsure what the bottom type is. Lastly, did you purchase bearings that were lockable? Some of them have a small grub screw that can be used to lock the shaft/bolt in the bearing to prevent rotation, a very useful option when setting the declination offset angle. Rgds [/QUOTE]
