I was hoping someone on this forum could help me. I have a leak on the top rear slide lock pin of my living room slide. I have removed the aluminum block that holds the pin. There is a top cap that I removed and found a deteriorated O-ring. I found the correct O-ring locally and re-installed. I was hoping that would fix my problem and to an extent it did, but it looks like it's also leaking from the pin itself.
My hope is that someone here has removed the pin and can help me with directions for removal and any special tools I may need. I know I can send it to HWH for repair but they quoted from $200 to $400 to repair depending on the issue, not to mention I have a trip coming up in about 6 weeks and didn't want to take the chance I would not get it back in time. (Though I've heard I could probably cap off the hydraulic hoses to the pin and be fine.)
Under the top cap, there is a brass nut with a thick washer. I was able to remove that but then wasn't sure where to go from there since there is a slotted cylinder and might need a special tool to remove. I'm assuming it's threaded but not sure.
The HWH part number for the whole lock is RAP 19920. I've attached some photos for reference. They want $600 for a new one and are back ordered for an unknown time...though I'm obviously hoping to fix this one myself. HWH technical support is out weeks so I can't even talk to someone there in a timely manner.

Thank you.
