dwestbrook,
You have not indicated what year your steps are. They have changed their design. And if you have found these motors to fit a newer design that is awesome. It's hard to believe that they would use a plastic part on something that takes pressure. Sure the step has no problems when it is moving but when it comes to the end of the out cycle and the in cycle there are forces that would put extra pressure on the worm gear. Then when people step on the step there is pressures also....The worm gear will be an issue and hard to find a replacement. I think Kwikee needs to rethink their design. Or offer a more durable worm gear set up.
Again if you can give us a year your steps were made or around the year it will help the others with newer steps.
Thanks for adding this information.
