Slideout stuck

Almost immediately after opening my slideouts, the dinette/sofa slideout made a loud noise and the rear end of the slide stopped moving. Seems as though the gear attached to the long tube came loose from the track. It looked as though the supporting bracket had slipped some (see arrow in photo stolen from one of dieselguy's posts).



I tried to re-seat the gear but couldn't, so it's in the shop now for repair.

Has anyone else had this happen? What besides loosening the bolts holding the bracket could I have done to fix this myself?

That bolt goes through a round hole, not an elongated one, so it shouldn't move or slip. I would inspect the bracket on the frame above it. I'd also check the gear itself for wear externally and internally by removing it. Let us know what the shop finds out!!
