New to this site. But not to Sears jacks. Have 328.12002 and 328.12160. The 160 I have apart and cleaned. The 02 model is another story.
The main 2-3/16 nut will not loosen? I have had a 6 ft cheater pipe and pipe looks like Superman bent it. I tried impact on cheater with 6 lb sledge. No go. I took pipe clamps on a 4x4 on back of bench and in line with vise. Then a pipe clamp. To 4x4 and body of cylinder to prevent rotation of body of cylinder and bench. Sledge and pipe no good.
Called a hydraulics shop that had a nutbuster 40000. Ft lbs. But they want to rebuild jack?
Stopped trying with pipe wrench because damage to nut. A socket is out of reason $.Now considering making a hex plate out of doubled 1/8 steel bolted. Attach channel iron and 2x8x16 ft with. Sizzors jack under the 2 by.
The other jack had a busted ucup seal. eBay seller claiming 22x40x12 mm ucup by SKF fits both jacks. Can anyone confirm? Found local supplier of loaded ucup has oring.
Does anyone have spec's on both plunger seal and 0ring? Kits are too expensive for me. For both jacks. May become if have to.
I see reviews on early failures of Pittsburgh jacks. When you look at them vs old jacks I don't want them.
To the old days when you bought cars with chrome bumpers! You never know where anything leads to.
