Now a link to a complete kit of the bearings needed -
www.bearings-o...
6 x 6008 2RS1 deep groove roller bearings
1x 30206 tapered roller bearing
1x 32208 Tapered roller bearing
4 x 608 2rs - these were the bearings I used but I have told the correct replacement are the metal shielded 608 2z. The ones I removed were metal shielded like these.
The 608 rs are a higher quality bearing to the 608 2z and I personally have had no binding issues using these although another user reported he did. Other hypertuning services like (www.deepspacep...) use the plastic sealed bearings as I did but I wanted to share what I was told so you can make your own choice.

ProLogik balance meter and tuning tool
www.prologik-a...
The meter is of a high quality and works really well. Not only is it great for helping to find perfect balance in stiff mounts but it is a fantastic aid to fine tuning your mount for the best guiding. It will assist you in adjusting your worm drive/gear mesh to the optimum setting and giving you great smooth tracking and excellent guiding numbers.
