Attached are pics of what I think might be where I can manually crank the slide in or out. The problem is the crank I have does not fit over the large pin with a hole. I’m wondering if I could use another tool? Anyway can anyone tell me if this is where I would manually bring the slide in or out?

Yes, I have a similar system. The fitting in the second picture as I recall is the crank for your slide out. There should be a crank handle that slides onto that fitting that has a pin in it that fits into the slot enabling you to crank it similar to a tire jack. I haven't had to use mine, but, the TT did come with a crank. There should be a hole on the side of your TT that would let you put the crank handle through it and slide it onto the fitting. If you find the hole and it sites down to the crank fitting, that is probably the correct fitting. I have heard of some people using a portable drill with something that would fit and allow you to run it out or in during an emergency. That should be completely mechanical/electric. For the OP, I think LittleBill is right. He has to fix the pump first. If it is just an O-ring, he should be able to get that at the hardware store or Harbor Freight. He must also find out what hydraulic fluid was used and replace it with the same type, otherwise it may not chemically match and could ruin the pump. When reassembling, make sure there are no burrs to cut the O-ring and cause another leak.
