Technical Support / Re: How to manually retract front roadside slide

The answer depends on what type of slide mechanisms you have. My '06 Monterey has hydraulic mechanisms on all 4 slides. If yours are hydraulic, you have to open the "T" handle on the hydraulic manifold to release the pressure in the hydraulic line to that slide and then "push" the slide in manually. The only time I have had to do it, I did not have any husky men to push, so I used a come-along across the windows on the inside and "pulled" it in. If yours are electric motor mechanisms on gears, most of those have HEX heads on the ends of the drive shafts to be wrenched in.
Good luck.
