Gene -
First, only replace the bolts with Grade 8 quality bolts.
Bring the slide in, carefully, as far as it will go. I understand the rear will be about 2" extended from what you say. Remove the bolt you installed. Get some help and slowly, carefully extend the slide (yes, the front of the slide), until it is about the same distance out that the back of the slide is. Now, get your help to get under the RV and guide you to extend/retract the slide just enough to line up the shaft and the gear axle holes to reinstall the bolt. Yes, this will involve just "bumping the switch" a little to line up the shaft/axle. Then reinstall the Grade 8 bolt. It may not be a perfect alignment, there is another way to do that, but if you are out 2", it will get it close enough to use the other Lippert approved methods of alignment.
Been there, done this.
Just my two cents,
Ron
