Slide not closing completely

Looking for some slide help. We have a 2013 3700RL. Last fall when preparing it for winter storage, I was bringing in slides and didn't notice a table was in the way. After stopping the slides (after tilting slide) and removing table, I brought the slides back in. The back side of the ODL slide does not completely close by approximately 1 inch. It goes out all the way but does not close entirely. Front side of that slide does completely close. How do I "unhook" cog system and manually even out the slide, then "rehook" up cog system. I realize its the hydraulic cylinders that do all the work but I think the back part of the slide jumped a cog or two to become mis-aligned when I hit the obstruction. Hope the above makes sense. Thanks to any help.

It has been a while, but I remember having to remove the shear bolt in the rod connecting the two gear packs. Then you can move each gear pack individually to equalize the slide. Re-install the shear bolt and you should be good to go.



P.S. It is nice to hear from another 3700RL (best floor plan ever) owner.

Thanks, will give that a look, and yes best floor plan ever. We've looked at others and nothing can compete with it. Turns lots of heads with that oversized bedroom slide. Thank again
