I decided to try something I read in a post on this forum. I drilled holes in the outer tubes of the landing gear exposing the worm gear. With the trailer hitched on my truck, I ran the landing gear up and down as far as I could go while spraying some lithium grease into the holes I drilled. Now I do this before each season of towing and it's working great (no sheared bolts and no tripped breakers). The motor still strains more than I would like - but always gets there.
