Is there a problem that you are having with ML? If not, why the attempt to downgrade? The easiest way to downgrade is to erase and reinstall..

I ended up doing a clean install,I made a USB boot drive of M\L & reinstalled,I am glad that i stayed on M\L
my iMac 27 I5 2.7 1TB HDD 12 G RAM is running like i first got it,I am so happy,I had to much junk on it & programmes that i was just not using,I backed up everything to a 1 TB WD desktop HDD just incase, I am really enjoying my mac again, no more swirly beach balls annoying me..
