Chester,
Here is a possible solution to get the slides out. Look in the bay under the driver and find the two lines that go to the generator slide.
You could disconnect them, and plug the outlet from the hyd pump. Plugging the lines going to the generator will not help you. Any NAPA store or Parker fitting store should have a suitable plug.
BEFORE you disconnect any lines in this area, deflate the slide seals. Releasing hyd pressure could cause the slide to shift which in turn could roll the seal. I don't know how big a concern it really is, but Newell and HWH both recommend to deflate the seals before touching the hyd system. Once you have the outlets to the generator slide plugged, refill the reservoir with ATF, Dexron III, and you should be good to go. You may have some air in the system now, so the slides may behave lazily or jerky for a cycle or two. Hold the button down for ten seconds on full extension and full retraction to help purge the system.
