Slide out problem

On my 2006 Phenix, I attempted to open the passenger living room slide this morning at home.  It began moving very slowly and then the front side of the slide sped up and went out leaving the back part still in.  Result is a stuck slide.  Found that I had a hydraulic failure in the bay with fluid everywhere.  Spoke to Foretravel tech and they helped me identify which of the eight manifolds/cylinders(don't know correct term) was for this slide and I backed off on the 1/4 inch nut to let the pressure off.  Despite this the slide wont move in manually but I need to get more help since it is so heavy.  However it is wedged stuck due to the hard angle.  Anyone have any experience with this?
Thx
