Thanks guys. The video was great. Armed with that and other suggestions I went out at 0630 this morning hoping to at least get them folded up. Spotted the cotter pin and bolt right away. Saw the motor too and tapped on it first as also suggested, and hot dang, it fixed the problem. Works like a champ again. First time I ever looked under the steps. lol Thanks guys!
Great that you got it going without any real trouble and at least for now. There may be some stops that are becoming oblong and what's doing the jamming.
I have an update as well, since my new power window motor arrived early and this morning, so it's now installed as a step motor and works perfectly. Very quite too.
Some of it was a learning experience and had to tap the gear ass'y ( Chinese specs. I guess) together with a block and small hammer. If not feasible, I would have just swapped out the mating gear with the old one. The rest of the assy went well on the bench and cut off the supplied electrical connector for matching up my own installation. Now with the step now out, comes the easy part with bolting it up in there and re-installing the clevis pin, right?Well, for whatever reason, had quite a time getting it lined up. Like, are you kidding me or what!
Anyway all is well and just glad I didn't have on one of those pressed white techinician jackets, while down under there in the grease and grime...:E
