Walker 93652 Help

[NJScreenwriter]

Hey all. Got this walker jack and was using it and one day I noticed there was fluid bubbling from this white ****** thing. After that, it wouldn't go up. I feel like this is something easy enough to fix (famous last words as we mechanically inclined people well know) but does anyone have any ideas?

You mean the zerk fitting? That wouldn't have anything to do with it not jacking, that's just a lube point. If it were mine I'd see if there was enough hydraulic fluid in it before I did anything.

Where does one add hydraulic fluid? I've never seen a jack need a refill on that, which is why I ask. Thanks.

There's no tank like on other hydraulic machines, it's all internal. I'm guessing a slow seal leak overtime is what drained the fluid. Gotta tear it all apart, clean everything, try to add more fluid (not sure how on that jack) then use it to see if you can spot where the bad seal is

Possibly that her bolt with the + in it, that might be a fill bolt?

That "white thing" IS the fill hole on my floor jacks.

Clean all dirt from around it before removing.

The white thing is the fill and the vent. I rebuilt the basic same jack within the last year, though mine is labeled as a Snap On.

So would I just add fluid there?

You would unscrew it and then add fluid in the hole.

It doesn't unscrew

Yes, actually it should.

Hiball already explained in the other identical thread started in the "General Tool Discussion" section that when fluid starts bubbling out of the air vent (that 'white ****** thing') means that the main ram seal has failed and the jack will need to be rebuilt.

Hey all. I have a Walker 93652. I was using it one day and I noticed fluid bubbling out of this off white nipped. After that, it would no longer pump. I feel like (famous last words, as any mechanically inclined person knows) that this should be an easy fix, but I can't figure it out. Any ideas?

Main ram cup is kaput... Your pumping air/oil into reservoir via the cylinder weep hole.

There is a link above/common Q&A sticky that documents the 93632, it will mimic your Jack. Regardless your Jack will need to be completely torn down, should be inspected prior to purchasing a seal kit, and replace all kit parts, not just the main ram seal.

The link CSP posted above documents the rebuild on a jack very similar to yours. The process would be the same though the tank nut style on yours may be different. Hiball seemed to think yours may have a hex tank nut versus the spanner tank nut which if so would make the job a lot easier for you.

If you feel rebuilding it yourself is beyond the scope of your abilities, you can just remove the hydraulic power unit from the jack and send it to a shop to have it done for you.

Below is a 3min video on how to remove the hydraulic power unit from the jack. This vid was made by a company, automaticrepairco.com, that sells/repairs those units. Another place that specializes in rebuilding those is theserviceco.net. That's just two of many. You may be able to find some place closer to home:

Heh, i find it funny watching him struggle with the socket repeatedly falling off that impact. I guess he's just not using the pin detent or it needs a new retaining ring.

I would agree the white plastic piece is the vent and fill.

I had my dads old jack and it needed rebuilt and it was cheaper to buy a new jack. I ended up scrapping it.

Advance auto sells jack oil.

The OP's Walker 93652 is a GREAT jack that can be rebuilt for a ~$50 kit or shops will rebuild it for you for ~$150 or thereabouts. You cannot touch a jack of this caliber for anywhere near those prices these days. Unfortunately almost all jacks sold these days (Harbor Freight, Torin, Blackhawk, Arcan, Craftsman, JEGs, Pro-Lift, NOS, etc) employ o-rings designed to fail early instead of u-cup seals like these Walker/Lincoln/HeinWerner (also sold as Ajax, Snap-On, etc) that tend to last decades.

I would consider it very foolish to scrap it and buy a new one.

A very comparable new jack to the Walker 93652 would be the Hein-Werner HW93652 (it's pretty much the exact same jack - hence the same model #) that is now 'Made in USA with global materials' instead of just USA like the OP's, and it retails for over $400.

I have no intention of scrapping this jack. I found this and purchased it 2 years ago full well knowing what it as. I intend to rebuild it myself. I am just waiting for my video camera to come in as I want to make a video in how to do this so others can learn how to themselves.

That's a shame, a rebuild kit is about $45 and with a rebuild an old jack will outlast any of us. You can't say that about the new stuff being built now.

Might be cheaper to buy new, but that doesn't make it better, unfortunately.

It has to be better than the aluminium Craftsman that I bought. After the 4th time of use it quit. O rings and I had to rebuild it.
