Are you saying the worm gear at the bottom track came out of the wall to the outside of the slide? That's pretty hard to do even when you're trying to remove it.
That being said, there should be a gib, which looks like a rectangular key that is riveted to the frame that holds the gear box in place. Are the rivets still intact? The gear box (for lack of a better name) positions the vertical drive rod through the worm gear and holds it in place on the horizontal track. For all of this to come out, the framing attached to the outside wall would need to come loose.
