Remove the original focus knob, remove 2 screws from the plate that holds the focuser shaft in place, install the large black collar over the shaft hold down plate and replace the 2 screws you removed, being careful not to over tighten them. Install the new focuser knob over the focuser shaft, and press on the focuser motor and lightly tighten the plastic screws on the nose of the motor housing to hold it in place.
Hope this helps!

The first one I bought was a 26mm Meade 4000 from a first generation ETX 90mm to use on a 10 inch Coultier I had traded a used D.A. and air file for. Before all I had was the converted bino eyepice that came with the scope and two plastic .965 ep's that I had wrapped masking tape around to fit in to the focuser. (Hey, they worked, I think!) I got a lot of use out of that 26mm that summer. Many other brands and types have followed (I got rid of my TelVues, I was to scared to use them. God forbid if I should scratch one or get it dirty. I was so uptight about using them, I just couldn't enjoy them) I still have the 26mm Meade, its in my ep box and I always have to try it out when ever I get a new(used) scope just to see how it works in that set-up.
