  • I believe BAL Accu-Slide is having a problem with their gearboxes. I have had to replace several gearboxes this year. I hope you enjoy this video.

    Thank you bro. Saved us from spending the night with a half open bunk slide.

    I would mark the 2 chains on the gear before removing them so they can be the same after replacing the gearbox.

    In your opinion is a stock motor replace better than upgrade to a high torque motor ?

    • @hillbillyrv
      @hillbillyrv  3 месяца назад

      I always do the high torque. It’s only a few dollars more.

    so from 2-1/2 hrs of experience i can attest you will drive yourself crazy trying to get those cables/chains evenly tight in both in and out! i did it today and wish i would've seen this video yesterday!

    Nice job the white foam is to keep the adjustments from hitting each other and Bal accu slide is self centered, do you happen to have a motor change only video?

    Nice job and thanks for posting this! I watched this and a couple of others and tackled the job with my wife and it went pretty well! I made the mistake and took the bolt all the way out of the carrier which made taking the chain off super easy! However, getting it back on was another matter. When I went to put the chain back on the new gear box, and I lined it up with the marks I made on the chain before disassembling it\- the chain was too short! So I had to adjust the cables and chain to get it back together. But the initial consequence was the slide would not open all the way or close all the way. so we spent a good 90 minutes adjusting the chain and cables until we got it dialed-in. Next time I'll be more aware not to take the bolt all the way off and do it like you did! But i the end, your posting gave us the confidence we needed to do it! Thanks!

    Nice job I have a question can you change the gear box with the slide out about 3/4 of the way out cause I don't have an removible panel and really don't want to take all the top trim off thank

    • @hillbillyrv
      @hillbillyrv  2 года назад

      If your slide is made so you can get to the gearbox while the room is in that position, go for it.
