Dick,
I guess I should have elaborated on the exact problem which I did in another forum. The 2003 Beaver Patriot has the slide mechanism that I described above. The inner frame has 6 bearing assemblies that act as casters (or rollers) that the outer slide frame rolls against when the slide moves in and out. One of my casters/rollers (one closest to the outside wall) disintegrated.
My major problem at the moment is trying to locate a supplier for the replacement. I was going to remove a good one on the back of the slide frame to take pictures for the guys at Bend when I discovered that removal of any one of the rollers was impossible without either removing the slide from the coach or coming up with some other solution. (I have worked out the other solution, but, don't want to implement it until I can find the replacement roller/bearing because it involves cutting a cross-member.) This is where getting some information about a source for this roller becomes important.
I would post a picture, but I do not have a photo account right now to reference. I doubt it is appropriate to reference another forum, but they allow you to add pictures without having a separate account so I posted a picture there.
Thanks for your input,
Bob
