I put out the slide on my Diplomat this morning to prep for a trip and found orange plastic on the floor. The plastic is the coating from the rear roller on the kitchen slide out. Does anyone know the best way to replace the rollers for the slide out. Sure need some guidance.
Thanks in advance.

Just had it done on our passenger side rear slide. $400 including air freight from HWH. I'm probably a bit older than you but it's the type of job I wouldn't consider no mater the age. Some will write in and say it is a piece of cake. Just one mans opinion.

Mike put the slide 1/3 out remove the bottom of the kitchen cabinet, they just lift out bend the lock nut tab and back off on the adjustment screw and remove the roller measure and call the folks in the past below. When you get the new roller install leaving slack in the roller go to the other roller ( I think its only two )back it off with the slide out 1/3 tighten on both rollers until they touch then another 1/4 to 1/2 more on both then use blue loctite on the lock nut you should be good to go. By the way you have another cooler under the couch that can only be adjusted by getting under the left front wheel well.

Ross Im 78 and would tackle it and have on a previous coach, it is a easy job it would be one of the easier jobs that I have done lately.

Remove one of yours,take a look at the shaft, You will need this info, is it round, square or Hex, You will also need the measurements.
These are conveyor rollers, mine are black, will not leave marks on the floor. Do 1 at a time, I believe there are 3. not a hard job, when you are taking the bolts out, they are the way you adjust the slide, this is the reason they use the locks on them.

Looking at the roller that is coming apart under the kitchen drawer, it looks as though it is round and the tabs are not bent over the bolt head. I am wondering if a person can replace the skin by pressing a section of PVC pipe over the roller. I have to leave for a wedding in Fallon Nevada Wednesday and will take it apart next week when I return.
Thanks for the guidance.
