- I am in the same boat...I have not bought this yet. - But the local seller said he already rebuilt the cylinder seal. - Price is $40. - Question is: what should I do to inspect this "boat anchor" LOL? Well, I intend to use it as a jack and not a boat anchor...("Boat Anchor" was just a...

OK, I don't think people read my DIY above properly. Anyway, 1. I have used air compressor to bleed brake for 20 years, zero issues. You people may not realize this, but the Motive garden sprayer thingy is an air compressor too! 2. I only bleed brake on dry summer days. In addition, I drain...

I am posting this again, but many of us already have an air compressor. Just make a cap with quick-connect fitting for air tool. I have a Volvo and a BMW, they both use a cap made by ATE: DIY: 1-man Hydraulic Bleeding Kit using Air Compressor...

- Many people here already own an air compressor, so... - I made a cap specific for each car. For example, the Volvo ATE cap also fits the BMW. I made the ATE cap, used with air compressor. - Just make sure you check the reservoir frequently as you don't want to run it dry. After you do it for...

I need help with this jack, does anyone know what it is? Just saw the ad and this is the only photo:

OK, Just took my floor jack (2-ton type) apart. This is what it looks like: ID x OD x height = 16x30x7 mm Does anyone know where I can buy a U-cup with this dimension?

For the piston with a small 1mm ridge as shown above, I agree with HiBall that in order to use the U-cup: Either: 1. Trim the clear factory "Bowl Washer" so it becomes a flat washer. Then install U-Cup. Or, I am thinking: 2. Get a utility knife and trim a very small sliver in such a way the...

Most people don't have a lathe (I don't have a lathe). Question: has anyone used a thin washer (such as crush washer) to even out the surface, let's say 2-ton floor jack by Harbor Freight. - The I.D. is 24 mm, this will "hug" around the ridge. - The O.D. is 30 mm. Once the washer is in place...

Thanks HiBall, Since the Oring/Retainer is difficult to find (Harbor Freight does not sell rebuild kit), I am wondering if I can replace the O-ring/Retainer setup with U-Cup (easy to find locally). I saw somewhere that there is a ridge built into the ram piston area that may (or may not)...

Re: Harbor Freight 2-ton jack I am new here and want to thank everyone who contributed, especially HiBall! I have a question re Harbor Freight 2-ton jack (see photo below): - Has anyone successfully rebuild the ram piston seal? - If so, what seal? Detail with photos of the ram piston please!
