Russ,
You're right about that....don't want to do this very often. Actually it was not that bad since I already had the couch out for the floor remodel. I think the biggest challenge is cleaning the track from the previous seal change. Newell used an amber colored adhesive in 2017. With the seal, they sent an adhesive, E6000. This adhesive is a clear product that sets up pretty quick.....so I would apply a bead about a foot long then set the seal and move on to the next section.
Somewhere I read that one can deflate the seal retract the slide about half way then lift the room and spray Windex on the seal and work the seal back into the track. Richard had successfully done this during their trip this past year.
My seal had rolled out and folded so that when I retracted the slide it got caught under the stainless steel runner, thus cutting the seal.
A set of hydraulic tables would be the same money as fuel to go someplace plus now you have the scheduling freedom.
