good, glad its working.

I'm no expert, but I think you have to much of a gap. I would think you need another snap ring or 2 to take up the space.

Well guys I appreciate all the help. Hiball your right. I was dissapointed to find that only (off the top of my head) 2 orings out of 2 kits would work. Before I put it back together I new I was gonna need to find the right orings. I threw it together anyway as to not loose parts and to make...

not a quick lift I'm disabled. I can only work at this for a couple hrs at a tiime. I also cant spell time. I'll get to everything suggested as soon as I can. I'll let you know. wd40, pb, reg oil. Just coat the parts. I would take a stainless brush and clean the surface rust off the areas you...

Hey Stephen. I got the ucup installed. Only 2 orings in the blue kit I got at hf would work. Honestly all my orings looked good before the rebuild. I threw it together today just to see what it would do. I left the jack body on the bench, filled it, bled it and tested it right there. It seems to...

well, he milled 8mm off. I ordered the ucup. I'll go get it monday. The machinist only charged me 10 bucks. Cant beat that.

thanks guys. I'm sorry if there is any confusion on my part, but I know my words arent always interpreted well. I thought I laid it out pretty good lol. This is one of those times when I knew the answer, but wanted someone to agree to make sure nothing was wrong. The u-cup I have now is not the...

Another question I have, is can I just replace the shell oring and call it a day. By the time I pay to machine that ram, I can just about get a new floor jack.

I understand that the small portion needs removed. This will in effect make the groove wider. the diameter of the inside of the groove is the measurement that the id of the ucup needs to be, right. Please let me know if this is correct. Thank you

How much bigger than the ID of the cylinder should the ucup OD be?

I went to edit my post and you read it before I finished:lol: I figured thats what youns meant but had a few other ?'s. Thanks

Ok, I'm a little cornfused. Using the pic here, the big shoulder is a stop lets say. Then the next part has the same dia/cross sec as the part just above the groove. Its that little piece just above the shoulder that needs to be machined off to be the same dia/cross sec as the bottom of the...

here they are. So I cant use the blue ucup. Right? Maybe it would just be easier to go with the original shell and oring? What do you think? Give me your opinions. Thought I'd throw in a cool pic of my truck I sold.

Yes, only one backup is used in the pump. So I'll put the backup on top of the oring. My other ? is on the release the square washer has another washer with it. They are both metal. one is the normal looking square washer. The other is the same od as the square one. The thickness is the same...
