Adrian,
Back when our coaches were built HWH installed a motor that Newell now suggests be replaced with a larger motor. Although the newer motor is larger it still installs with the same two bolts without any alterations. Newell gets around $400 for a new motor, you should be able to get one for around $100. You may find you can buy a new motor for not much more than having your old motor rebuilt. My experience has not been good with having motors rebuilt. Removing the motor does not allow any of the hydraulic fluid to be lost. R & R is no more than a one hour job for either motor. Two mounting bolts, a 12V battery cable and there may be (can't remember for sure) a ground wire.
