I found the 3/4" end that I am thinking is where I can manually retract the slide so that I can take the rig to get the motor repaired, but I do not want to tear up the motor. SO, we are dead in the water because the slide will not go in. What do I have to do to get this slide in? Thanks in advance.

This is a little late, but my kitchen slide is out, just stalled, but also an electric motor gear drive... I saw a write-up showing a brake release procedure, turning a knob on the motor 1/8 turn counterclockwise to release the brake. Then I think a 3/4" socket and ratchet handle could be used to manually turn the motor or gearbox shaft, manually cranking it in. Then re-set the brake.
I'm not sure what I have yet. Need to find the motor after I look for power at the switch. There's supposed to be a 20a breaker somewhere for the slides...
The road side slides are hydraulic, along with the leveling jacks. That pump is in the basement next to the fresh water tank. Here, you just turn a slotted screw (I think 1/4 turn CCW) to allow you to pump the hydraulic circuit you need with a jack handle or tire wrench. 1/2" thin-wall conduit "EMT" sawed off to about 18" should work. I sure wish I knew more about where things are in my rig. They will show their faces, I'm sure. Have a good day!
