I just bought another Jack but thought I should fix the old one as
well (same as yours I imagine)
So anyway remove the jacking pump thats pretty easy just split pins, and pull the piston or plunger out! then you need to remove the old seal inside the
bore the plunger goes in to. Thats easy then find another O' ring seal there pretty close to the clip on Garden hose fitting size! so if you have a 3 dollar plastic box full of various size seals there will be on inside fairly close.
Buuuut I found you can put two seals in one on top of the other then it might last longer. Then fill with SAE 20 oil or ATF through the little round rubber plug you prise that of with a screw driver blade and fill with approx 150ml of oil or nearly to the top of the filler plug.
Then you have to pump bleed pump bleed (bleed through rubber plug filler! And if it don't work you might need to remove the red plastic plug that say's do not adjust and screw that half a turn at a time until it pumps correctly. It's a bit of a pain but can be done. All the same
mine seems perfect now but never ever trust a jack as said before! crush injuries will kill you after the weight has been removed if you have been there for some time.
Always use stands or good hard wood flat blocks to suport the vehicle when underneath.
