Hein werner jack

[ianvanvliet]

I have used this jack for about 20 years on and off. I have always loved it, but it might be time to rebuild. I don't know what kit to order, any advice would be super appreciated.

I rebuilt one a few years back and I think I purchased the kit from these guys, https://www.blackhawkparts.com/hein-werner-kits.html
I remember the teardown was a major undertaking, unscrewing the main cylinder took 10ft of leverage to break it loose.

that definitely looks like the best selection Ive seen for them. im just super lost because the only info i needed, was the parts that the badge lost lol. i have no idea what model or type of jack it is.

Yeah, same here, those tags disappear or get painted over all the time, just google Hein-Werner jack rebuild kits, there are a few places selling them. Try and find any and all photos of their different models , see if you can narrow it down that way.

yea, ive spent the past 2 days trying to find out what model this is. i was really hoping for some guru on here to say, wow thats a blank blank lol. but ill keep trying to figure it out. atleast i have a place that will sell the kit from you. now i just gotta figure out what model it is

There was actually a member here that is/was a jack rebuild guru. I think his username was HighBall or something. Search some of the older jack rebuild threads...he sold kits too if I recall.

i did, i keep finding stuff thats really similar. just never close enough to be definitely it lol. it still works, but after 20 years of good service. she definitely deserves some maintenance. so im not in a huge rush, i dont mind waiting and finally finding that one thats exactly it to know everything about it. i would hate to pull apart a running jack, and ruin it without the proper know how and parts.

Hiball is his username, and he doesn’t sell kits anymore, recommends another place.

I’ve got an old catalog. I happened to see it today while looking for something else. You can have it, if you want it.
