Celestron AVX 6” refractor

I want to change out the cheap focuser on the AVX scope. I want something with fine tuning like the explore scientific crayford focuser. Anyone swap out one of these? Suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

A 6" refractor is pushing the limits on that mount. If you sold the OTA and invested in a 4" APO it would probably come with a quality focuser and then you could attach your camera without over stressing the mount. Just my opinion from trying many scope/mount combinations.
