The slides work on a large screw type system. Very similar to a automatic garage door. On my bedroom slide there is a hole drilled in the platform that you can insert a socket and turn the
screw by hand. My bedroom slide would only extend in short increments then stop. I removed the mattress, removed a few screws holding the plywood down on top of the platform and once
that was off the entire system was exposed. I cleaned the slide rails off and applied a good quality spray lube to them, also some to the main screw. It now works without hesitating.
Now the dinette slide required me to clean the rails from the outside once it was extended. A small amount of lubrication and it slides nicely. I avoid heavy grease as it attracts and holds dirt.
As far as cranking in the front slide in case of a failure I need to research that myself. My guess is it would be done from underneath. Going to check that out.
