It has been several years since any issues with the hydraulics associated with the generator slide so, my memory may be missing a few brain cells, but I believe both extend and retract terminate at the fixed end.
My lines rubbed on the clamp and after 12 years finally ruptured, at a Bristol NASCAR event. Repairs, later, were made by pulling the whole slide out and replacing both lines. I’m pretty sure both ends terminated on the cylinder at the same point. Yours may be different!
The rupture sprayed fluid inside the enclosure and I found it easier to remove the whole set in order to clean the mess. The failure rendered the whole hydraulic system inoperable, no slide movement in or out! Luckily, the local Bobcat dealer had #4 jic caps and plugs in stock. Terminated at the pump/distribution block, the system was back up and running.
