Success

So this weekend I decided to finally tackle removing the tall slide-out pantry for my wiring project. I blocked up the end of the pantry when it was completely extended. I had obtained a little wrench that fits a square drive bit to remove the 6 screws holding the slides to the pantry drawer. There is about 2 inches of clearance between the sides, so no chance of using a screwdriver.Click image for larger version

So now released the upper slide and was able to finally remove the drawer and set it aside. Here is what I found. The bottom slides mounted to a block on the floor of the pantry cavity. (Along with the usual Thor construction debris left behind).Click image for larger version

For my lighting project I needed to find a ground wire, so I removed the panel under the refrigerator and pantry looking for a ground wire to connect to. So I find the damn secret there on the bottom side of the pantry cavity. Three screws holding down the bottom slide mounting block. Arghh....

After all this sturm and drang, the solution was as easy as removing 3 easily accessed screws and the pantry drawer would have slide right out.

I laid the pantry down on its side and now easily re-attached it it to the bottom slides. With the bottom slides and block now attached the entire unit slides right back into the cavity.

I hope this helps the next person who runs into this issue. Of course every Thor model probably is different. But this works for the Windsport 27K.
