Re: Pics: Slide mechansim, Winnie/ Power gear / Kwickee
The problem was the slide out would no longer retract(one side)The broken part is called a "acme nut". The part was no where to be found so I had to make one , If your having the same problem and have the same type of slide maybe this info might help you. I have a 2002 Minnee 31",slide type Kwikkee Dyno Sycn worm drive. Here's how you know it's the acme nut, first room starts going out crooked, and retracting room is getting worse,finaly quit retracting (one side) at all.Second clue is you get out the hand cranks and manualy cranking is not moving room in. The factory uses a plastic acme nut threaded onto a long worm screw to move room in and out,the platic nut breaks loose and spins in its location and your room is broken. I was not able to find parts for this problem, I called and looked everywhere , no parts! So I replaced the plastic nut with a bronze acme nut from Nook Ind. and a steel sleeve, yes it took some time and frabrication but my slide out is back up and working great,If you need info on parts/install,be glad to pass along.1.2KViews0likes0Comments
