slide out help on holiday rambler

If you have any mechanical ability, I think its best to work on it yourself. That way when something goes wrong you won't be at the mercy of a road mechanic. Shear pins are not that difficult. The hardest part is getting the gear and the shaft to align so you can drive what's left of the old one out while putting in a new one. After you get the new one in you should get a punch and mark the gear and shaft so the next time it breaks it will be much easier to fix. And of course it goes without saying that you should always keep a couple of spare pins handy. If you have no ability then do what the old man says and take to the dealer. Be sure to take your wallet also.
