Well I have been making progress on this Kimkin jack. Still no real information on it but Ive got it a apart. I soaked and pounded on it for days. I tried electrolysis to loosen things but no joy. I finally resorted to the Sawzall to cut the shafts and separate the pieces. I pressed out the...

I made a little progress today. I found a rod the was about the same size as the shaft and pounded on it for 10 minutes. It finally moved and I drenched it with liquid wrench. I had to file the edges some as when I first hit it it mushroomed some. Still no movement on the last wheel. Hope to...

I think so, but as yet nothing moves so I’m not sure what does what.

Thanks for the info. Looks like these guys made some unique stuff. Mine looks to be a garden variety jack. I am still thinking clone of something, though maybe not. There are no markings or badges on it other than the big Kimkin. Dipnetfan

I found a reference to acetone and atf on the web. I put it in a big can and soak something overnight or more. I’ve never tried to spray it, I use knocker loose or whatever for spray. I gave up on ever getting a cotter key out. I spray them and the next day pull on them til they come out or...

Anything I can soak I’ve been using 50/50 atf and acetone. The rest knocker loose. Or liquid wrench. I spray it pound on it some and let it set overnight. Those bolts that have a sleeve I drilled a little hole and put stuff in there to soak. I got two loose that way so far. I’m gathering things...

A few more pics. I have three wheels off and a few nuts. The bolts and spacers a getting looser. The 4th wheel is not cooperating at all. I’m working on drilling it now. Tomorrow might be the day

Did you ever get the Kimkin Jack up and running? I've got one that needs TLC

No word about this beast but I did get one wheel off. I may have to do some volume electrolysis.

Great info guys. Has anybody tried to do half of something, then the other half. I’ve got a 48”kimkin jack that is really frozen. I can’t get it into small pieces so thought I would do half at a time in a plastic trash can. How about using two battery chargers?

Thanks, I'm on it
