I just located the fill hole on my 20+ year old Sears 2 ton jack (with 3 screws on the top and one on the side of the bottle #3 Philips) that I got from a neighbor when he moved. It was left in the up position and stored outside like that for years. I cleaned, greased and painted it. Then I got tired of the stuttering on the way down and the fact that it was several inches of max height. My jack was not as bad as what you showed off and I just added 0W20 synthetic motor oil to whatever oil is in the jack. Bleeding was super simple and I just lifted the front of a dodge minivan with not problem and jack now reaches max height. Watched several videos but this was the only one that got the job done. Big thanks for such a wonderful video.

how can it bleed without an exit point for the air?
@GRAYYZ8 ай бұрын
It only has the fill hole which is also not under pressure, so as long as it is right side up it’s fine.

I got the oil filler plug out, but can't get it back in. I have tried everything I could think of. The jack is an MVP ProLift 365 that's about 25 years old, with light use. Any Ideas? Do they sell replacement filler plugs?

Thank you, this video is very helpful. Perhaps you can add some speech during the kersosene flushing (@5:30) using the release valve. Also, please talk more about the technique for inserting/removing those snap washers. I found those snap washers to be the only difficult part of assembly/disassembly. They kept flying off all over the garage as I was trying to install them. I am still not aware of specific snap ring pliers... will def have to look into those. also def want to find same size replacements for the snap washers, for in case the originals get broken or lost!!! {{{ Update: I found snap clip pliers!!! }}} Thanks again for the effort to post the video!!!

Where did the air go in your bleeding process? Do you not have to remove the filling cap, after extending the piston all the way out, in order for air to escape?
@kevinhancock4064 Жыл бұрын
I thought that . If not released surely it'll be in there still ?
@andymora55953 ай бұрын
You are right. Just read the manual how to remove air from cylinders: Pumping with a opened release valve for some minutes... then open the plug a little bit with screwdriver and you hear the air coming out.

Most likely you'll never have to do this unless its a very old jack and or cheaply made one..

I have a jack exactly like the one in your video. I wish I had watch the video first, before removing the screw to the right of the lift arm. Below that screw is a very stiff spring. I'm having trouble compressing the spring enough to get the threads started. What is the best way to get that screw/plug back in there?

@tugrulbey30952 жыл бұрын
wonderful video. however, i can advise people to wash inside the mechanism not with kerosene, but with hydrolic oil. Kerosene would make rubber orings swollen and cracked. wonderful tutorial anyway.
@PitbullSoco Жыл бұрын
Kerosene does not effect rubber seals. That's why so many use it to clean motorcycle chains.
@GRAYYZ8 ай бұрын
Yes but just flushing it a couple of times with new oil will ensure you don’t leave kerosene in the jack when it’s refilled. But add some AT205 while you’re there to save the seals.
