Keith-n-Dar thanks for the info. I was concerned about using a drill for setting the stabilizers because it is so easy to lift the rig with them. I found I was lifting the front just trying to set them by hand. Do you set a limiter on the drill? Another reason I use the crank and the manual landing jack in front it is the only exercise I get.

Keith-N-Dar, I didn't mean my comments as a ding on your armor. My apologies if it came across as that ... I was just remembering the frustration I had when I thought the crank was what I should use. It was a really painful ordeal for an old guy bending over ....  the bit and drill was an epiphany!

Just went out and looked and the nut is about 1 1/2 in to the right of the metal brace. Keep in mind my slide out has the couch.
