You might want to give this a look....although you have done good so far.. you should also learn how to take the jack completely apart and lube the jack screw...Also cover your motors with a plastic bag and make sure the gutters are not spilling water directly on the motors themselves.. Looks like you will just have to unbolt the jack itself to get the motor off but you will have to do that anyway to get to the jack screw.
Thanks for reminding me on your thread. I read this here back in 2012. My previous 2012 Adventurer 86 FB the jacks inner tubes were completely rusted all the way up. Did not see this when taking delivery when dealer was raising TC up to load on truck in the pouring rain that day. Talked with Brad at Adventurer and He coordinated with Happijac to send 4 new generation nickel plated jacks and new motors under warranty which I installed. Great thread . Will keep for future maintenance.
