HWH Slide mechanism

Thanks for the advice. I've already been in touch with HWH and a tech made a couple of suggestions, such as switching the hoses on the sync cylinder. Right now I'm taking a breather from working on it as I need some time to decompress. My main concern is not that the slide doesn't work properly, but that I can't get the slide back in. I opened the valve release nuts and the rear part of the slide will move, but the front part seems completely stuck. I cannot envision driving back to a service location in the states with the slide out. I will post more later when I have found a solution.
