Question Front Jacks stopped working

I need help with my front leveling jacks, which stopped working. Slides work, rear jacks work, reservoir has plenty of fluid, motor runs while pushing front-jack button, but front jacks stopped while retracting. Jack on pump side is almost up, the other is only half-way up. Called Lippert and was told to open valve on top of leading leg and then use manual retraction method. However, on my 2007 Mobile Suites 36SB3, the position of the reservoir tank prevents the use of a 5/32 Allen wrench to open the valve, and the motor faces the wall to the generator, with only about a 1/4 inch of space, thus not allowing to attach anything. I'm in the Austin, Tx, area, and first mobile mechanic couldn't help. Two others either don't work on hydraulics or are hesitant to do so. I was able to unhook the truck and I'm in a place where I can park for a good 4 weeks, so there's no emergency. Has anybody had a similar problem or can somebody suggest what to do? I'm a novice (in fact, this is my first outing with the 5th wheel), but I'm willing to learn. Any help or suggestion is appreciated.
