Girard Awning motor

I have a Girard 2000 awning. The motor runs but it sounds like gears are striped. The gears are most likely nylon.  Have any of you folks changed out the motor and if so, are there any tricks to the removal and installation of the new motor? Has any one found a different source to buy the motor. Girard quoted me a price of $600 plus fright for just the motor. WOW

Thank You  Karl

Karl,

I can't help on the motor (you could always call FOT, MOT, and Xtreme to see if they have a used Girard  that's been parted out), but here's the awning installation/service/repair manual if you don't have it.

Where are you located? I live in Florida and have a girard awning that has a good motor. It is located on the right hand side of the awning. If interested let me know. Ron

Hi Ron,
Yes, I would be interested. I am currently  in North Carolina.  I haven't taken the old motor out yet. It sounds like the gears are striped. Do you know if these motors are rebuildable? 
Thanks for the reply.  Karl

I don't think they are rebuildable, but have never taken one apart.
