Hey when using never seeze wear a pair of nitrile gloves. That way you leave mess behind when you are done. Simply peel off used gloves
Hey there! I worked professionally as a mechanic and the stuff ends up EVERYWHERE no matter if you have a hazmat suit on lol
That's cool they sent you another one Jay! You did good job showing how to change the jack out. Have a good weekend!!
John! Yes I have had issues with this unit so I am glad they sent a new one no charge. This was minor compared to the other issues! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I didn't know it was threaded!! Exactly what I needed :)
Glad to help!

Great simple info! Could you let me know the brand of the trailer jack? I’d appreciate it 😊
We do not have the unit anymore but im sure you can amazon one indeed

Thank you, this was just what I was looking for!
Appreciate it! Please subscribe too!
How's she goin'? Great that the company came through with a new jack!!! Good for them eh!!! Nice change out too!!!
Mike! Ive had many issues with this camper and had to bring it back and fourth to the dealer a bunch of times so when I called AGAIN about this "minor" thing they didnt even argue with me on it haha I was happy I didnt have to sharpen a pitchfork and light a torch and chase customer service LOL
I see you used a regular socket/ratchet tool - do the bolts need to be torqued at all, or just as tight as you can?
I didnt torque. Check every so often. If it was a lugnut or something more travel related id torque but youd notice if it starts to loosen.
Hello there Jay. That's great you were able to get the jack at no cost. At least some companies are doing the right thing! Do you crisscross your safety chains when you hook them up? It catches the tongue if it were to come unlatched and will not let it drop down to the ground or pavement and dig in. I do it everytime. Good video and I hope you have a great day. Weatherman lied last week, breaking records with temps in the mid to upper 90's. I think the change is coming for sure this weekend tho. And to think, they get paid good money to tell us all that mess. HAHA, Catch you later buddy.
Bruce! Thanks for coming by! I DO cross my chains for sure, I wouldnt do it any other way! It was 41 degrees this morning here on the homestead but Saturday is suppose to be 70 haha gotta love it! Yeah what a job to get paid right or wrong lol thanks for watching as always!
I always crisscross my chains because that's how I was taught, but until now, I never knew why! Thanks.
On my 2019 forest river toy hauler. My jack rollpin snap off so the jack would not work when we were camping. I had a deck screw in my truck to fix it. I forgot about till now
Larry! I was up the you know what creek with a very small paddle when the teeth stripped out on this last camping trip. I had to go camper to camper to find someone with a jack! Hopefully you get yours fixed properly!
Homestead Jay
Should be under warranty yet, going it to winterize in 2 weeks
@@larrykluckoutdoors8227 Yes we have one more trip next weekend then its winterized! Do you blow yours out with compressed air or antifreeze?
@@HomesteadJay
I going to have the dealer do it. Since it is new yet.
I would use air on the city water and antifreeze in the fresh water tank.
I may play around before it goes to the dealer
Yes for sure! Not a bad idea to let them handle it
Not Simple off a 50 yr old trailer
Im sure that ones on there pretty good!
What is the socket size for the bolts?
Sorry Shane I do not have the rv anymore! Prob 3/4 if I recall maybe 5/8
Doing a replacement on my tongue Jack and the bolts were rusted pretty tight and snapped. Anyone know what size they are ?
Hey Jeff! Just take a bolt down to a local hardware store and match it up to something in the assortments they have! That’s what I’d do if I didn’t have anything kicking around! Thanks for tuning in!
@@HomesteadJay thanks for your response. Problem is my city is still on lockdown, no hardware stores to take it to, all curbside pickup. Anyways, bolts would not come out so I had to drill them out, so I will be using a bolt and nut to put the new jack on :)
I thought the grunt came with aging... Anyways, I now grunting for so many things, it's annoying when I think of it. No wonder I'm getting bald. Hey, where did you get those nice wood blocs? That is my fence! Just kidding! Always handy to have good flat 4x4 for jacking stuff. Ok, I am not the only one to look for BTU value of [excessive] packaging... You never lose time adding anti-seize. It's a time investment for the future. Thanks for sharing!
Joe haha no the grunt = more power lol. Good eye it IS fencing lol old cedar fencing! I was blown away by the slotted cardboard I thought it was very cool and would be efficient to use as a fire starter! I always use an anti-seize when and where I can, It will save me time or someone else down the road if they needed to rework something! It takes no extra time either! Thanks for watching!
What Jack is that??
I do not remeber the brand sorry!
Good to know! We haven’t broken our tongue jack yet... but I’m sure we will! Lol!
Hahah maybe one day youll need this valuable info :) thanks for watching!
Lots of wasted time in this video, would have been shorter and to the point
