ScottG What is a shear bolt, where is it and how do I get to it?

Do you have a Power Gear slide-out manual? If no download it and it will show you where the shear bolts are.
With the slide closed you will have to lay down on the floor of the camper and look up under the faceboard of the slide and look for the drive shaft. The bolt could be sheared or the shear bolt could have just loosened and dropped out.
One of my shear bolts dropped out and the other ones were loose. I reinstalled them with blue loctite and torqued to 14 foot pounds.
I removed the face board on my slide, then reinstalled it with fasteners hidden behind decorative caps, so it would be very easy to access the slide mechanism in the future, if need be.
