Thanks Scott, Brett and everyone for your feedback.
I will have to confess I am totally un-mechanical. My late husband was in charge of that end of the MH. So I am not sure if the bearing is sealed or greasable. I will check the invoice and see if it says anything.
The access to the motor is terrible. Just getting the cover off under the bed is ridiculous. The access panel is not very big.
Now the good part is that the parts came in overnight. Arrived by 9:30 this AM. Was reassembled in a couple of hours. Took it out for a test drive. All seems great. Headed out to Quartzsite around noon. Everything seems good now.
Parts and shipping $899. I also had them replace the air filter while they were in there. That was included in the parts cost. Total with labour and taxes $1,660.
I have to say the service at Great West Truck in Needles was very good. They let us stay in the MH as we had our dogs with us and gave us power. They were efficient and the total cost was $80 less then the quote. So I have no complaints.
On edit FYI there are 108,000 miles on the motorhome.
