Call WInnebago Owner Relations at (800) 537-1885 ... I don't know that my slide with "crank" in EITHER direction, but supposedly (after releasing hydraulic pressure) can be "winched" in and/or pushed from outside if you have enough manpower.

? A little more information might get you a better answer.

If it is a HWH system like mine with threaded rods to retract the slides in case of a failure it is my humble opinion that you are out of luck. The mechanics of the threaded rods work good to suck the slide in but would be worthless in the oposite direction I believe.

winnie tech said to open the valves and then u could push it out. Didn't work today but the rv mech I had turned the nut so he probably didn't go far enough

We found the problem, the slide hyd line broke next to a coupling, these are vey small
lines, like 1/8 ", mobile hyd hose guy couldn't repair it because of the size

Hwh guy returned by call friday night, I have to unbolt the slide ram and then I can push the slide out to access the ram and the two hyd lines. I'm doing both lines, don't want to do this again.

Isn't rving fun???
