Leveling Jacks

My slide outs and leveling jacks have a mind of their own if jacks are up one slide out is out. If jacks are down slide out is in. The nut to use a drill motor to raise jacks manually is striped. Is there a way to retract the jacks and manually push slide out in? Or is there a manual way to push jacks up without using power? Help.

I would post the request in the Georgetown threads asking were is the control unit located.
My trailer is all hydraulic and is a 5er so, my controls will be in a different location and type.

MY brain is mounted under the 5th wheel section in the storage area. When I open the storage door and look up, you can see it bolted with 4 harnesses going to it (one for each jack). Although not the same brand, you may just want to take a look there.
