Does the Landing Gear Leg have to be Removed from Trailer to Install the Landing Gear Repair Kit

Question

Question:

Will I need to remove the entire landing leg in order to replace the gears, shaft and bushings? The rv is a 2005 Keystone Challenger fifth wheel with the Lippert landing gear. It started jumping gear cogs, we are in an rv park near San Antonio, TX.

All of the feedback we have received on the Lead Jack Repair Kit part # LG-146059 has said that with the jack removed from the trailer the repair kit installs very easily. I spoke to my contact at Stromberg Carlson and she said there is no reason you would have to remove the leg to install this kit, but it might be easier if you did so.

All that has to be removed to install this is the top black piece of the landing gear to access the parts to install this kit.

The skipping sound you are hearing is the motor drawing too much amperage and then "clicking" loudly as it fails to have enough amperage to move the landing gear. This is very common if the motor needs replacing or the power or ground for…

Fuses blow because the circuit is getting overdrawn. If the motor of your landing gear is fine but you are still blowing fuses that would indicate that either you are overloading the jack and it is drawing too much amperage, or the next likely…

The price difference does seem backwards, but the faster speed part #LG-141893 has the same weight capacity as the lower speed part #LG-142178 that you also referenced. It's a difference of 5,500 RPM and 7,140 RPM so you would definitely see a…

First thing I'd check is the power source and ground for the landing gear. What you described could be a bad motor, but a weak battery or ground will cause the same problem. Your picture is pretty close up, but it looks like the motor you'd…
