    Need input on a Snap-on scissor lift - leaking fluid

    They are ESCO jackstands. Not cheap but I've never regretted the investment in them. http://www.asedeals.com/flat-top-jack-stands.html I've just started racing SM this year. In fact my second ever race weekend is coming up this weekend. I've watched all of the SM carnage too, so we'll see...

    BTW, here's a photo of my spec miata on the lift. Note the jack stands...

    Need input on a Snap-on scissor lift - leaking fluid

    So many places to go with this one... But seriously, my Snap-On lift does exactly the same thing. It didn't do it with my spec miata race car, but yesterday I lifted my 911 all the way to the top and it literally squirted hydraulic fluid when it reached the top of its travel. That is...

    Need input on a Snap-on scissor lift - leaking fluid

    Thanks Hiball! I appreciate it. I just got back from picking up the lift. Got it for $750 so I've got a little wiggle room to take care of repairs. It's filthy from being in a tire shop so it doesn't look like much right now. I plan to clean it up a bit. It is still strapped to my car...

    Need input on a Snap-on scissor lift - leaking fluid

    Hiball, I guess the kit I need is the Gland Seal Kit (#0-0183) based on the manual I found online. If you can check on that for me, I'd appreciate it. I'm a little nervous about repairing my own lift hydraulics knowing that I'll be crawling underneath with a car on top, but I do my own brakes...

    Need input on a Snap-on scissor lift - leaking fluid

    Hiball, thanks for the input. As far as a negotiating point, the guy says he won't go below $800 (he's asking $1000). I started out at $500 and then told him $700 was my best. He turned it down and I walked away. If it does have a leaking seal, does $800 sound like a fair price? How big of a...

    Need input on a Snap-on scissor lift - leaking fluid

    Hi, new to the forum (just registered). I hope I'm posting in the right place. I am looking at a used Snap-On mid rise scissor lift that is probably 8 years old. The guy is asking $1000 for it. After some dickering, the lowest I can get him is $800. That seems a very fair price for what...
