The gear ad shaft is available from Lippert the maker of the steps. If you lost the gear totally first is the gear just stripped? If the gear is gone the ay other parts are missing. If like mine the gear was stripped ( don’t let ,kids ride the steps)

To replace the gear I have found it better to remove the entire step assembly from the mh. Make sure to note the position of the gear

You obviously do not have a Kwikee step but a LCI Coach Step. There is NOTHING on a Kwikee series 32 that would require removing the step. Even the LCI Coach Step, you do not have to remove the step to replace the parts. Doug

I disagree with this. I have replaced the Series 32 step motor/gear drive on my 1999 Class A F53. The fasteners holding the gear box to the step frame were rusted and stripped out requiring that I remove the step mounting frame which also had rusted attaching bolts which stripped out of the coach mounting frame captive nuts. I cleaned (derusted) and powder coated the steps and mounting frame prior to reassembly using a new fasteners and a new gear drive and motor.(updated design) In theory, I shouldn't have had to do what I did, but that wasn't reality in my case. The large gear inside the drive box exploded in my case. I was unable to locate new drive gears separately so I just bought a new gearbox/motor assembly. ($250.00 in 2013) It works fine now. IMO, the old motor/gearbox was a POS. IMO, regular dirt/water spray from the right front wheel/tire doesn't help the assembly.
