2008 tioga slide out motror access

I have a 2008 Tioga Ranager. The slide out motor has failed. It appears to be a gear. It is a Power Gear motor. The problem is the motor sets on the main floor of the RV, UNDER the slide out. There is no way to access it. I am thinking I need to cut out a section through the slide out floor under the dinette seat to get it out. Going from underneath the camper through a storage compartment does not see like an option to me.
If I cut a section of slide out I could repair it when finished. It would only be a 14 x 10 inch section. I need an access to be able to manually put the slide in and out anyway.
Does anyone had experience in this type of repair, especially Tioga owners.
Thanks for your help.

  • I would suggest looking at the manual for the coach. I don't think cutting a hole would be necessary for manual operation to begin with
