jzeman17 Report post Posted August 29, 2023 I am looking for information on how to replace my slide out cylinders on the front DS/PS slides. This is for a 40' 2006 Beaver Monterrey/Pacificia. Recently as I was bringing in the PS slide all came to a halt....after investigation I determined the chrome rods on the cylinders are very rusty and..therefore probably tore out the seal on the cylinder. PS is almost in..DS still out' If anyone could pass on some advice..suggestions..thoughts on wherer I can obtain a service manual to see the procedure to access and replace these items it will be greatly appreciated. I have already contacted the Beaver people in Oregon no joy,LOL. Also I need some references where I can purchase the new cylinders,can't seem to find any info in the WWW. Many thanks to any and all who respond...... Stuck in South Texas in my driveway JJZ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rayin Report post Posted August 30, 2023 Cylinder replacement is required, those rods are destroyed with corrosion. They are not rebuildable. What brand is the hydraulic slide mechanism? If the brand is HWH, use this emergency room retract procedure. Replacement cylinders can be ordered from the HWH factory in Iowa or Stewart's Services in Elkhart Indiana.

wildebill308 Report post Posted August 30, 2023 That is the worst hydraulic cylinder I have seen. I wonder how bad the jack cylinders look? Bill Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jzeman17 Report post Posted September 3, 2023 Thanks rayin and wildebill for responding to my query......rayin will definitely use to info provided..many thanks. wildebill, we live on the Texas coast so probably a great contributor to the corrision issue....hindsight always better than foresight......should not have left the slides out for such a long period. Now have to deal with this issue...lol The issue still being access to the PS slide underneath which sits over the aquahot and the storage bay. something has given away/broke. when I push the slide botton I am causing hydralic fliud to flow from under the slide, which is in about 98%. What I am looking for is information on how to access under the slide while in this position. I am fully aware of the procdures when the slide is out...just needind advice on how to access when the slide is in...if possible..lol. Thanks again for your intertest..

JJZ Hi John - did you get the slide cylinder out? I'm having the same issue with mine and trying to get access is proving challenging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
