Yes, I've seen the problem of overtightening the indicated bolt on mine. I've experienced that before. This time, however, the problem I think stemmed from the fact that I had fitted a second LNB to the motorised system. I was working with this setup for a couple of weeks, but I think that I hadn't moved the dish to 30W until the problem arose. From where I live, 30W is quite at an awkward angle, and I believe that with the additional weight, the motor couldn't make it to move the dish. However what confused me is that after I had removed both the LNBs and even the whole dish, the motor would still not move. So at that point I thought that the motor was fried. So I took it off. However, after opening it up, it started to work again, with no apparent damage and very little wear-and-tear present. So I am thinking of putting it on again. I just need to find some time.
