    I kept raising and lowering the lift, and the slow side switched, then finally they both started raising and lowering together. I didn't get any more air out but I did release a good bit of fluid. Everything seems to be working great now, I put my Cayman up and replaced the under tray that I'd...

    I couldn't find a carbide burr at my local Lowe's, but I did get a rasp that fits on my reciprocating saw and that worked fine, if a bit slower than a die grinder would have been. I can't get both sides to lift together, one side is 2" lower than the other. I've bled it in every position and...

    So just use the burr to enlarge the hole like I would use my Dremel tool on smaller stuff? Yeah, the bigger washer is a must. Thanks.

    OK, one slight problem. I got the posts tightened, and I only had to use two shims on one side of one post, the other one is practically vertical both ways. Bleeding was pretty easy, and after raising it up and down several times it works fine, both sides raise and lower in tandem. However...

    Yeah, round lift pads. My floor is also flat, the base plates on the columns rock a little back and forth, so they are not true. Shimming will correct that though. I've been gone the past two days so the epoxy has had plenty of time to cure, I'm about to go out and bolt it down and power it...

    Well, that didn't work, I can't figure how to post a picture here, it is saved on my computer but I don't have a URL for it. I found where to upload a pic, but it didn't attach to this message.

    I finished installing the anchors a few minutes ago, I put them in epoxy and will let it set until Saturday afternoon which is the next opportunity I'll have to get out there anyway. The drill I borrowed made short work of the holes, almost like drilling through pine 2x4's. Some of the wejits...

    The holes weren't changed to slots, just a cut was made from each hole to the outside of the plate. I'll try to take a pic and post.

    I finally received my MaxJax today, after it having traveled from CA to GA, back to CA and finally to AL. I got everything put together with no problems, even though the instructions leave out a few things. I've read enough on here plus viewed several videos of the assembly process so that was...

    My Cayman jacking points are 54" apart F-R and 57.5" distant side to side.

    My MaxJax will finally be here on Monday or Tuesday, depending on whether you believe Con-way freight. It's already had one cross-country trip from CA to GA and back, now they tell me it's sitting in Blythe, CA and will be here Monday. Garage Equipment says Tuesday. Either way, hopefully this...

    A Max Jax for $500? I say that's a no brainer. I looked at every place I could find that was selling it and Costo and Garage Automotive Equipment had the best price plus free shipping. For $500 you can always sell it if you don't like it and get more than your money back, but I bet you'll keep it.

    After reading through a LOT of the 47 pages of posts on this topic, I have ordered my Max Jax lift and am rounding up all the items necessary to do the installation. It is mentioned several times to use "epoxy anchors" instead of the wej-its. Does this mean different anchors instead of the...
