It lives !!!!!!!!!!!! Don,t know and really don't care what was wrong, prob. piece of debris snuck in some how because all I did was clean, clean, clean. Now I need the correct procedure for setting the Speed/power changeover valve and the overload valve. I currently have the overload set at 1...

Technically I have 8 in mine, but 3 are just plugs. One in either side and one in the bottom. It is very small. .030 is a estimate, but prob. not to far off. I will be able to measure when it is back apart. Replacement cup is a 24x40. I used the same tools and process to tighten as I did to...

Here is a picture of a identical floor jack to mine. http://garagejournal.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=2352&pictureid=28147

That baffled me also, as the drawing only shows and lists 4 and with the .030 ball I have 5. I'll look at things more tomorrow or Wed. when I get it torn down and cleaned again. If all checks out ok, what else could be causing the bleeding issue that i might look for while I'm in there ?

All tests have been done light as it will not lift even myself. Was actually talking about the release valve. (brain not functioning). The small pipe (I'll call a supply tube) which is probably for rapid travel and fits into the bore in the main body. Pull it out and there is a passage in the 6...

Update. pulled it back apart yesterday to re-clean and check for mistakes. Found 1 ball in wrong place. While disassembling it this very little check ball falls into my hand from the front somewhere. I'm talking about .030 diam. Looking over the patent diagram trying to find a home. NOT. Finally...

OK. Someone want a jack. Put in new seals and cup and does exactly the same thing. Might raise a couple of inches, but will not hold any pressure. Like it's low on oil. You want it, come get it. I need a working jack today, so will have to go buy another.

OK. Duh !!!!!!!!!! Thickness of main cup is .380"=9.652mm.

Pictures.

And we have success!!!!!!!!!! Took a 3ft x 1 1/2 angle iron screwed down to a 7' 2x12 and still bent the angle iron and better patience, but it's apart. Main cup is toast. Have pictures, just trying to figure out how to post them. The sizes are as follows. Main cup 1.577"=40.0558mm od /...

Walking away for now. May try again this weekend.

Tank nut. Keeps it solid until about 250 ftlbs. Same pipe I used to break the rear hub nuts on a vw bug last week and didn't require this much force.

5' cheater pipe with 4' digging bar for brace and won't budge. Any ideas ?

Is that thing standard or reverse threads ? I have put one heck of a load on it so far and it won't budge !!!!!
