i have the same one that ImportTuner and used it on plenty of asian cars. I've used it prob 20 times in my drive way lowering friends cars and it works great. Never had an issue with it or it sliding off. Just make sure to have them on opposite sides and it works great.

damn thats reallllly nice. i always loved riding them. wicked power band and scary fast.

the inverted torx look just like my mac set. wonder if they share the same manufacturer.

mmm banshee

Thats really odd. You would figure since the sockets hold up so well, the extensions would too. Other then the ball falling out. But yeah their sockets hold up awesome.

"funner" lol but yes great idea. definitely saves money in the long run.

i just broke my matco 88 tooth ratchet today actually. i was tightening a bolt and the 3/8 square end just sheared off. And that was maybe 40 ft lbs. But its stood the test of time, ive used a pipe on it numerous times and its been good. so i would definitely recommend one.

It should be USA.

yes i looked over the tutorial 100 times. i really appreciate you answering all my questions. You are def one of the best and most helpful members on this forum.

DAMMIT, whats the working valve? haha I hate this...i dont know **** from a rock when it comes to these jacks.

yes i know, im freaking retarded when it comes to messing with jacks. but if its a car, im a genius.

Ohhh, to tell you the truth, i really didnt even notice to look at that, or maybe i did, but didnt pay any attention to it. I dont think it was damaged when i looked at it though, cause i think it would of stuck out to me.

Is the working valve the one where it has a dust shield on it that says do not remove, where you can adjust the screw in or out?

In the picture, this is the type that my jack has. I got this pic from someone else's thread. Anyways, the part of the left, that giant o-ring is what your talking about right? that the main cup right? That o-ring on my jack looked good. you think it would be wise of my to replace it anyways...

yes that seal seemed good to me. I looked it all over and it looked crack free, still felt soft and not all hard. When i put it back into the cylinder i felt a little bit of resistance like it was building pressure so it made me think that the seal was still functioning properly. You think i...

Yes, i tried that earlier. Unfortunately it still leaves me with the jack not holding any other weight but its own.

Also, Hiball, when you talk about the main cup is compromised, what exactly do you mean by that? Is there a seal i have to replace?

i know, unfortunately its hard to diagnose my issue especially when i barely know anything about jacks. And yes when i had the ram out, i let all the fluid drain out, and once i put it all back together i put new hydraulic fluid back in. Also, after i put it back together, i noticed that when i...

I havent tried pulling the ball out, but its odd that i used the jack yesterday and it worked fine and then today i go to use it and now i have a issue with it. just doesn't support any weight. Do you think that if all the seals are good within the jack, should i even mess with changing them or...

yes mine looks like that. So with that, what should i do? Do i need to do anything with the ball? Is there a seal in that area that i need to change?
