    You my friend are F@#%ing brilliant. I've been searching or an two hours for that part (which I have no idea what the name is and was about to buy another jack until I came across this. I don't know what other tricks you have in store, but I'm going to go through your videos now.

    Thank you very much!! I couldn't figure out why the piston wasn't going up. I didn't realize that there was a clip making it go up. I just ordered the entire cylinder and clip for $10. Just have to wait a freaking month, but what the heck I was about to throw it out.

    Thank you so much for this video! On mine the connector was a little C-shape and it had simply popped off the piston. Take apart, push out this piston, reconnect. Fixed! Without watching this I wouldn't have know what it was supposed to do.

    Thanks for this vid! It turns out the clip had popped off (looks to be spring steel, FYI) on my jack and I didn't catch that that was the issue (didn't know how it was supposed to be assembled).

    If you notched it a bit smaller than piston it snaps on no wire

      Alan Matthews (good idea). ideally it needed a retainer clip that I was not interested in getting at the time, so I improvised and use wire, still works great. Thanks for watching

    @jdog4534 3 роки тому +1

    This is the same problem I'm having with mine. The piece you made to connect the pin to the plunger/piston appears to be better than the one it came with. Imagine taking a piece of carbon steel strap about 5/8" wide x 2-1/2" long with semicircles ground into each end. Now jam one of those semicircles into the slot/groove that's around the end of the plunger/piston. Then brake it up 90°, then brake 90° to go over the top of plunger/piston, then brake back down 90°, then brake it back into the opposing side of the plunger/piston, jamming the other semicircle into the slot/groove, thus capturing the plunger/piston in a way that allows the linking pin between top of plunger/piston and under the carbon steel strap. ..maybe it's high carbon steel because it is a bit springy. But it bent open to come free from plunger/piston..
    It sucks. I had a shot at sand blasting the rust off the p/p but was too impatient and thought I could just blast it with ATF and force it back into operation. Anyway, thanks for showing me what I needed to see. I wasn't sure if it was under pressure at that point

      @ATEMOFFROAD  3 роки тому +1

      @jdog nice, thanks for watching. I appreciate it. That sounds like it would work good too, glad that you found this helpful. Now I remember I once though it was under pressure myself! Cheers.

    Thanks, I used this to fix a seized floor jack that I had left in the spare tire well of my car for years like an idiot. I do have one follow-up question: the jack works again, but I've got hydraulic fluid seeping out from the exposed threads where the piston cylinder screws into the fluid reservoir. Besides torquing that piston cylinder as tight as I can with a wrench, is there anything more I can do to seal that up so that it doesn't leak anymore? Thanks!

      You will have to remove the cotter pin , then slide out the wrists pin retaining both the jacks lever and the connection to the pump piston! Then you can get complete access to that the top piece. Thanks for watching 🍻
