Thank you great video! One tip regarding the o-rings. Consider viton o-rings instead of nitrile o-rings. Viton O-rings offer superior resistance to oils, fuels, and various chemicals. Nitrile O-rings, while resistant to many oils and fuels, can degrade when exposed to certain chemicals.
The problems I see in this video: 1) you are not supposed to top off all the way. As per manual - Fill to 1/4” below the fill hole on side of piston (big flathead plug/screw) while bleeding with valve open (counterclockwise). You don’t ever have to remove the other screw for bleeding. 2) you don’t need to remove the big screws on the yolk. Just the rod that prevents it from tipping forward. Turn the handle until it allows you to tip the handle all the way forward and you can get the pistons out. I had a stuck piston all I had to do was wipe down the piston and relubricate w hydraulic oil and I also wiped down the inside with Qtips.
If my jack doesn't lock when I twist to the right could I still do this? I think my problem is whatever isn't allowing it to lock when I twist it to lock it

Car Electric Hydraulic Jack Protable Tire Lifting Repair
I like this new 😀👌
Yes, thanks @Mike Mikic
I copy that , worked for me , yay !!!
So one is 9.8 mm I need to replace the o rings on the left piston ,would you happen to know the size I need on the right side piston please ? Thanks 🙏
@@redbeacon4871 it would depend on your jack, that is the size you have ?
@ the 3 ton Pittsburg aluminum jack
@@watslockandkey I have the same floor jack as you 9.8mm for the left piston what size o ring do I use for the right piston ? Thanks
Are the pistons holes supposed to have oil In them, one of them is filled
If my jack doesn't lock when I twist to the right could I still do this?
I think my problem is whatever isn't allowing it to lock when I twist it to lock it
"All the way to the right" is closed, not open.
Those are O rings not gaskets , washers or anything else
Do you know the seal dimensions?
I have not checked.I can look into that..
As man I wish u zoomed up close, and didn’t fast forward through the important part of u disassembling the piston.
@Selwyn Abraham : Thanks for those points !
Yep
All he did was pry them out with the back of a hammer
Not sure why you would speed up the video during that part of the repair.
WHAT IF THAT ROD THAT GO IN THE CYLINER /HANDEL IS MISSING
Did your came with a pad for the lifting point?
Hey Estevan Gascon - Yes , you can order replacement ones as well
Those are not "washers", they're o-rings or gaskets.. and you open the jack to the "left" (counter clockwise) , not to the "right"
I can't believe you wasted your time commenting. I bet you are voting for kamila Harris
Cool shit
This is not step by step
First off they aren’t washer, second your using the wrong terms for the rest of the parts,
5:45 Freeze frame.. The one on the left on mine is bent over. Not sure how. But I can just replace it aye.. Sweet!
Where did you find the part? I can only find piston kits that cost as much as I paid for the jack a few years ago
@@AdamScoots247 Na I've got two jacks.. Red & Blue Pittsburg. they look like the same size,, I thought I'd try..
