So yesterday I capped the hydralic lines on the lock/unlock solonids and i did get the slide to come in. So today I am going to pull those locks down and rebuild. I did talk to Newell about this the other day so I have a Question,, Mark at Newell told me that on the older hydralic room slide units they have been capping the lines and taking the slide locks apart and pulling the pin out, then putting the assy back in ( with no pin), He states it just keeps from having these issues again because it makes a mess.. ..My question is has anyone done this and will the slide move while driving down the road ? I would think the lower hydralic cylinders would hold the slide steady but last thing I want to do is blow those slide seal airbags out.
