Slide out Pins locked

[randymerri]

Hi Everyone,

I had the slide out seal replaced on my 2003 LX about 4 months ago. I have had
the slide out all summer at the campground. I have to pack up and bring the
coach home next weekend and decided to run the slide in today. I turned the
ignition switch on, then turned the key on to deflate the slide seal. I can hear
the slide seal deflate. When the amber light turns on I hold the switch to the
retract position. The bottom of the slide room starts to slide in, but the top
part won't budge. I expect the slide pins are sticking. I tried several times
inflating and deflating the seal but the pins still remain stuck. Is there any
way to manually retract the pins? Are the pins unlocked by air pressure?

I'm in a bind because I am leaving out of the country for 3 weeks and need to
get the coach home next weekend.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
