Ok, figured I would post an update. I just took this apart again and re-assembled and its now building pressure. I took the smallest ball which I previously had under the pressure release valve(gear) because there is a witness mark on the bottom and inside the jack which looks like a tiny ball...

Do you have pics of your setup? 4 years later, I am revisiting this project LOL

Does anyone here have one of these wrenches for sale? I am looking for one that is larger than 40MM.

I picked up an old Wilton 525 Vacu-flip. There are only a few pictures of it on google. I am looking for the rubber base for mine, does anyone have one or know where I can find one? Wilton no longer has any parts for this vise.

can anyone confirm the fill process? I assembled the jack, pulled the rubber plug and filled from the bottle with a small piece of hose. Will oil bleed through properly or do I need to pull the power unit out again and fill on the bench?

just so we are clear, the very tip of the release valve/gear is flat, not pointed. There is a very small dimple in the tip of it which looks like it was made by the smallest check ball, if you look down into the hole where that goes, there is a small dimple mark in the tube that goes up the...

not saying you are incorrect but there is a dimple in the tube that is at the bottom of that release valve hole and there is a dimple in the tip of the release valve gear which could have only been made by a very small check ball. The dimple in the tube cold not have been made by the end of the...

Define "work" lol. Yes, theoretically, it did work, it just didnt pump all the way to the top. It was leaking oil for quite some time and I took it apart to replace o'rings not knowing there was all these checkballs. When I pulled all the parts out, oil was covering them so I didnt know they...

How do you know if needs a second ball? Do you have literature on this specific power unit because I cant find any anywhere. I know SOME power units use 2 balls. Do I have a check ball in the wrong location ?

reassembled it, filled it with oil and it doesnt work. Surprise. lol I have no pressure to the pump, I can hear air squishing around in there. I worked the piston in and out to bleed it but that did nothing. I have oil leaking past o'rings on the adjusters. You'd think it would still build...

This appears to be the only possible way it can go together. The pic with the wrench in it is from Craftsman PDF manual. 1st pic shows all the parts I have lined up for refereance. 2nd pic shows what I believe to be the only possible way for it to go based on the size of the parts and...

I am going to lay the parts out and put numbers next to them so is easier to figure this out.

lol I can rebuild just about anything. When I took this apart, I dug the parts out of he holes but was unaware there were check balls and other small parts in there. the oil was hiding them and they were stuck in the bottom and fell out when I tipped it to drain the oil. Yeah, my mistake but...

I dont have that part, I never had it. This pump was assembled with different pieces. I think they used a small check ball and a large check ball in place of that conical piece.

I'm guessing that this is similar to mine. Instead if having the pointed plunger, mine uses 2 check balls. https://www.hcrcnow.com/uploads/drawings/sears50145floorjack3.5ton.pdf
