This metal disk cracked in half and I need to replace it on my 2018 303rls. Looked at parts look up and also emailed GD but no luck with part number. Lippert needs it to place an order. Will have to carry spare in my truck until it gets fixed, plate is cheap metal.

The 2018 parts lookup shows the spare tire lift as GDRV PN 150008. Same as my 2015 spare tire lift. (I added a second one of these so that I can carry two spare tires. See https://gdrvowners.com/forum/operati...-trailer-tires) Agreed that some parts of the tire lift are die cast zinc/aluminum and caution has to be used to not over tighten the tire against the underbody.

I doubt that you would be able to buy (or install) sub-components of the lift assembly.
The entire assembly is held in place by two bolts directly over the cable winding drum. These are a little bit difficult because they are bolts with loose nuts on the upper side of the frame that have to be held with a wrench while removing/installing the bolt from below. This is further complicated because the holes are on the centreline of the frame rail which puts one of the bolts directly over the drive rod. This hole in the winder bracket is slotted so that once you loosen the bolt slightly, you can slide the winder a little to one side, to get this bolt out. See pg 3 of the attachment to post 1 in the linked thread.
The drive rod that extends through the frame rail hole has no additional fasteners. This would be easiest to remove/replace with the coroplast dropped, but should also be possible by opening up the cross-cut hole where the cable comes through the underbelly and then taping this enlarged opening closed.

Here is an interesting twist on the metal disk. GD finally gave me a part number but Lippert said it is not their number. They had me send pictures I posted because I told them all the winches I saw online in their website and on E Trailer site did not have that disk. They said that disk is probably road debris that got caught in there! I need to check the winch again remove tire and make sure all is working well and cracks in assembly. More later .....Vivian

I went under RV today to get to the bottom of this mystery. The disk is not road debris that got caught in the assembly, it is an inner piece that serves to separate cable from gear teeth. Cable was frayed when I was able to remove it completely and see inside the assembly. Rob, you are not kidding about difficulty in getting to nuts above channel to remove bolts. Glad I found this while on my winter site in Florida vs on the road this summer traveling 😳

Rob, I read your previous post where you added 2 carriers side to side. Very helpful, thank you :-) Did you have to torque the bolts holding up the winch? If so, what was that? I see they are using 5/16" bolt and nuts from the specs.
