Ron; are you sure there are two motors? My understanding of that system would be: there is one motor with a cross-shaft guaranteeing alignment through two gears or sprockets running in a "rack" at either end. If I'm correct you simply need to replace a shear-bolt (typically 1/4" X 20tpi about 2" long) that has broken at one end of that cross-shaft.

Also (if I'm correct), folks who have the electric motor slideout system should be able to chime in and give you the exact location to look at above your belly material. There was a thread posted some time ago showing pic's of the exact loacation and appearance of parts.
