Here's the whole slideout removed.

The connector dangling off the back is the encoder which I replaced with 4 bolts. The frame has 4 mounting points that bolt to the underside of the coach. On the end of the worm gear, it's fully unassembled. However, you dont' have to take off all the hardware. On the coach basement frame there are 4 bolts that only need to be removed to pull the whole assembly. I didn't know this at first so if you pull it, on the wormgear end side you will have a plate left attached (not shown here).
