[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1108359, member: 176704"] Well, I live relatively close to you and thus the elevations setting will be similar, and I didn't have much trouble in "nudging" the motor up a tad so as to be able to push the hex key into the aperture and then adjust the backlash! OTOH, there may actually be physical differences between the "Supreme" and "Superior" versions of the DM which would make the adjustments more difficult (possibly even "impossible" when mounted on a mast??) - and, since most of either version are "clones of some sort" with different "brand names" but from only a smallish number of actual manufacturers, those slight differences might cause such issues. BTW: before I loosened the motor mounting bolts, I paint-sprayed the elevation adjustment clamp bolt to ensure that I could refit it at exactly the same setting. [/QUOTE]
