Replacement PTFE Bearings for LXD55 Mount
It's a well known fact that one of the weakest points of the LXD55
mount is the bearings that reside inside. They are made of cheap
plastic material and usually have nicks, tears, gashes or sometimes
even areas missing from them.
To combat that we've come up with a solution for replacement of all
six bearings inside the mount. Made from 100% virgin PTFE PTFEŠ
material and cut to the exact dimensions of the original bearings,
these upgraded PTFEŠ bearings / bushings will allow your mount
to hold the scope load more balanced, more freely and help with
all kinds of other mount issues such as Periodic Errors when shooting
Astrophotography, mount stiffness, and more. These are not metal
bearings and you will not need to alter the mount in any way in order
to use these. From LXD55.COM
NOTE: These are intended to be installed during a HyperTune or mount
degrease procedure. While they can be simply dropped in and installed
without doing a degrease, it is not recommended. We strongly suggest
you also purchase either the DIY HyperTune Kit, or HyperTune DVD to
help you replace these bearing properly.
