Craftsman Floor Jack Leaking Oil
It is partially opened up.
Craftsman floor jack leaking oil. A 25 mm release valve nut that won t budge with vise grips dead blow hammer. Not leaking or one problem with it over a year. This leak was due to a faulty seal. A low hydraulic jack oil reservoir may decrease the maximum available height.
I have new seals. I dove in to repair the junk. The process involved in adding oil to the craftsman 3 ton hydraulic floor jack also applies to many other models. I was very pleased to see that my craftsman 2 25 ton floor jack was easily able to lift the entire passenger side of a honda accord after re filling the hydraulic oil reservoir.
One of the benefits of having a high quality hydraulic floor jack is that the jack can be rebuilt at any time using o rings available from any hardware store. I have no. I have a craftsman possibly torin 50139 3 ton floor jack that leaks out the screw that says do not adjust and also from the release valve and lifts very slow. Hydraulic jacks that leak down have broken or damaged seals and piston rings somewhere in the jack.
In this video i will show you how i fixed a fluid leak in my floor jack. The fairly simple procedure of adding oil to the reservoir when necessary can prevent losses in maximum jack height.
