hydraulic jack service?
Any help appreciated on drain down and fill. Can not get it to work properly, hate to can it have had it fof 20 + years only added oil 1 time. Read the stuff online only basic stuff.

I've only added fluid to mine. But I have taken out the screw that you drop down the jack with. Then pump slowly and add in fluid a little at a time, it sucks it in. I guess to drain it open it and see if you can pour it out or pump it up/down to drain it.
The bottle jacks are cheep now days. You can buy one at Walmart or most autoparts stores or tool stores for $15 or so. Let us know what works. |
i took the screw out by accident on mine once...oil started draining out so i put it back in real quick and only lost about a teaspoon of oil. the last on i had needed oil really bad. it kept coming down while i was working on the truck... i'm lucky enough that i fit under my truck when its not on the jack although i did get stuck under the honda once

Actually di what you guys said, did it before no problems. Did the same thing now and it wont jack, not a bottle jack big floor jack. Thanks forthe response. |
Look for the manufacturer online and contact service department i'm sure they can help. If not then you surely got your moneys worth with 20yrs. of service and time to get Santa to get you a new one.
