    Use cheap dish soap on the slides. It won't attract dirt and grit later. Paint it on with a brush.

    Of course, this assumes the polyethylene sliders are still in place. If it's a worn out old piece of crap that's sliding metal-to-metal, all bets are off.

    Even metal on metal, the soap will work.

    I'll bet that costs one hell of a lot more than a smaller pry bar put in the correct hole.

    If it won't slide, piss on it. Or spray it with some kind of water. Whatever is handy at the time.

    After you pop into the back and drink some "ammo" I'm sure.

    Find a good woman and marry her and then make her come team drive with you. That way you can stand back by the tandem's and motion for her to move the truck forward or backward until the correct hole is reached.
