    Blackhawk Aluminum S-4 cleaned up

    Ok, did a quick clean up on the S-4 I picked up a month ago, turned out pretty good for an aerosol overhaul. Now if I could just find a good deal on a rebuild kit to solve the small drip I have....(help) I took the liberty of painting the detail on the sides and top even though it may not have...

    S-4 Blackhawk Jack W/Alloy Frame, Fresno

    here is a before and after. Someone spilled a gallon of white paint on it after it got posted on craigslist. Just a quick aerosol overhaul. Now if I could find a good price on a rebuild kit to solve the small drip I have coming from the bottom I would be great shape!

    New fluid = no worky ??

    I raised it up on a block of wood on the rear castors only. I jacked it with the valve open and closed. I fished my hand in the reservoir where I saw the movement of the fluid. I walked away for a couple of hours and PRESTO all of sudden it is working again. It goes all the way up. put it under...

    New fluid = no worky ??

    to be bled properly do I need to remove the pump from the rest of the jack? if so is there a particular universal joint or should I just try to remove the nut that it screws into? I tried your method and it doesn't seem to do anything different. it seems like I am missing a key piece of...

    New fluid = no worky ??

    Well Originally I was going to try to remove the pump from the floor jack, but I couldn't see a way to remove a pin from any of the universal joints to do this. SO I thought maybe I could just remove the "old fluid" by removing the top cover and turning it on its side, and pour all the gunk out...

    New fluid = no worky ??

    could there be air stuck in there somehow? I see two flat head screws, and a 1 inch hex nut. Does anyone know how these function?

    S-4 Blackhawk Jack W/Alloy Frame, Fresno

    Not bad at all. I don't know how hard it is to locate the light parts. I would think you could locate some wheels pretty easily. There are a lot of guys on here with extra parts.

    S-4 Blackhawk Jack W/Alloy Frame, Fresno

    Thank you for posting it, I was looking for one. Oh by the way other than someone mounting the light backwards, it appears most of the light parts are there, a schematic on how the button in the handle is suppose to be assembled would be helpful though. The sides are Aluminum, and it did seem...

    S-4 Blackhawk Jack W/Alloy Frame, Fresno

    I dug up this guys info from your post, and thought maybe he would still have it after almost 3 years. Turns out he never sold it! After a few phone calls I arranged to meet up with him today. I just got home and unloaded it. I think I got a good deal on my first Blackhawk, I am pretty pumped!
