Bedroom Slide Motor Replacement

[Retd_ontheRd]

The rollers on my bed-side bedroom slide are the same as Harry's. I have two of them on each end of the slide, where the slide is supported by the sidewall of the coach (see pics, taken from the inside, beside the bed). Please forgive the rust *blush* - it's been fixed.

Last year, one of the roller frames was dragging on the bottom of the slide (same as in the OP's pic) and, as pointed out by Harry in his post, it was a simple matter of turning the head of the bolt from the outside to bring up the roller and now all is fine.





Hope this helps.

In the mean time, if you go to HomeDepot or Lowe`s, & get a door kick plate, install it under the slide where it`s been rubbing & see if that helps -- The slide is not very heavy, & can be raised with a car jack -- William Willard

Bob,

My slide was dragging exactly the same as yours is. The bottom of my slide had the same marks as shown in your picture at post number 4 in this thread. Our setup seems to be the same and use the same model of roller assembly. Harry posted a great picture of the same roller assembly screwed to a floor at post number 10. My roller assemblies are welded to a bracket that is then bolted to the top of the sidewall of the coach. You can see the hex-head screws used to screw the bracket into the top of the sidewall in my pictures at post number 15 and in the pictures here:




I fixed my dragging problem by raising the rollers a little higher so the slide bottom no longer dragged on the roller bracket. I raised the rollers by turning the bolt from the outside with a regular socket (7/16" I think, but don't quote me). I thought I might need to jack up the slide to do this but found that just using the ratchet on the bolt gave enough leverage to move the roller higher out of the bracket. I did relieve a bit of weight on the rollers by using a pry bar between the bottom of the slide and the top of the coach sidewall but didn't want to put too much pressure there for fear of denting the bottom of the slide.

Hope this helps.
