So my old Craftsman 2 ton floor jack seems to need help. It won't "hold" the lift. And If I just raise it with no weight on it, if I step up my own weight will slowly bring it down.
I've looked at lots of YouTube videos, but what I don't get is, do I need to do a full rebuild? Or is there an easier fix? Sort of like , first check this, then this, etc.
Some videos would imply it could be as easy as air in the system that needs to be bled. Or possibly I just need to add jack oil.
I guess I'm looking for someone with experience with these to give me a check list. If it ends up I need a full rebuild, so be it.
Its an older jack, so I'm thinking it is worth fixing as opposed to just getting a Harbor Freight replacement. Plus, I did get it from the estate of a favorite uncle, so there is sentimental value too.
