I think the first time someone enters the service diagnostic it is smart to be on the phone with a Newell tech. Since the air is not turned off, the slide seal can inflate without you realizing it. If that happens and you move the slide it can take the seal with it, a very unhappy moment.
Slide extension: The 2 Stub Wall Bearings (top & bottom) extend to the wall (~18” on a 30" slide) and then the End Wall bearing (middle) takes over for the remaining extension. You can watch the bearings extend on the rails to confirm which bearing is bad. If it does not extend on the rail, it is bad. All 3 bearings at each end of the slide are the same part number. Grease the bearing and spray PB Blaster penetrating fluid onto the rail. You can try pushing against the slide to break the bearing loose or you can use a pry bar to force the bearing; block of wood on the aluminum opening, pry against the Allen head screws. To move the slide outward, place the crowbar on the bolt head and using wood, pry against the outermost edge of the opening to move the bearing rail inward towards the coach.
The trick is being able to remove the outside access cover.
