So with barely any fluid in the jack it was able to raise and lower the jack.. kind of.. added more fluid and went to bleed it and the arm wouldn't go back down after opening the release valve. I took the hex nut off and pulled the ball out, used a small pick in the bottom hole and the arm...

Also quick question, I went back and was reading over the threads from page 1. The only fluid the store had near me is the Bar stop leak oil. It looks like you said don't use leak seal oil. Is it OK, or should I order some new stuff?

Ok I understand now, Thank you!! And so the second question if you don't mind is the screw for the "working" valve won't sit flush like it did when I took it off so I'm getting some seepage through there, and when I raise the jack it holds but won't go back down. 🤷🏼‍♂️ if there was a shop nearby...

Ok so after the nut bottoms out, seating the washer and coupler am I wanting then to bottom out the stem to fully close the valve?

So one more newbie question when I'm spinning the gear by hand and not using the handle I spin clockwise to drop the jack and counter clockwise to raise the jack, with that in order for the jack to go down, is the stem supposed to keep keep the ball down when lowering the jack?

Ok I will try that. So set the shank to a minimal distance so almost all the way tightened, take the whole assembly and start to thread it into the block making sure the shank is in the square washer. Bottom out the assembly. Now at this point spin the gear counter clockwise, you said rotate...

Were you ever able to get the leak to stop? I have the same issue coming from the threads as well as on top of the gear! When putting your release valve back in, did you have the pin all the way tightend to the valve or leave it a little loose? Thanks!

Not sure if this is still going but, I do get seepage through my threads on the relief valve nut on my Allied Hydraulic HDJ2-10 2 ton jack. I also noticed some coming out through the center post which I think I'd need a new o-ring? And at this moment my jack won't go back down after taking...

Hey everyone, not sure if anyone can help. I have an Allied Hydraulics floor jack that I was working on. Drained and refilled the hydraulic jack oil. Tried bleeding the jack but it went up and won't come back down. Does anyone have an idea of what I'm dealing with? Thanks!
