      I did read some of those reviews of people having bad experiences with this Jack but, keep in mind there are 40 to 50, 1 star reviews explaining some bad experiences, there are about 1800 5 star reviews on very good experiences with this Jack. Those one star reviews did give me some concern but I went ahead and bought one today anyway. I did ask the employee about needing to add hydraulic fluid before first use and he said, he has not heard of having to add any oil, so I did not buy any, hopefully that wasn't a mistake.

    @greenkouki 2 місяці тому

    It helps to lubricate the "barb" portion of the fitting when assembling too as that has to push down inside of the rubber hose. Also most recommend that you leave a credit card gap between the two parts. It looks neater to align the sides of the hex vs what you have done as well. Also good idea to start the masking tape BACKWARDS then flip it and tightly wrap it. This will prevent fraying even futher. Overall good overview on assembling these.

  • @robfromtoledo9514
    @robfromtoledo9514 2 місяці тому

    Other videos I've watched say to leave a small gap when running the nut down. I assume so it can be swiveled a little if the angle needs adjusting.

    • @midlifecustoms
      @midlifecustoms 2 місяці тому
