Agreed the hub is beyond repair, so new assembly required.
Be careful not to damage the seal around the shaft on the OHLA, or you have a new very messy problem.
One idea came to me during sleep. If you look at the metal H shaped frame that the OHLA is bolted onto, you will see two bolts at the top, and two bolts at the bottom. Removing those four bolts allows some pivoting and moving of the entire assembly without disconnecting the hydraulic hoses. It may take a helper on the bottom two bolts. One on the nut under the coach, and one to hold the top of the bolt.
DO NOT crawl under the coach without proper support. You never know what can happen, and having 50k pounds sit down on you will totally ruin Katherine’s day.
Where are you? In case there are any of the Hee Haw gang close by.
