HWH leveling jacks

[Scott Forman]

Phil,

When you say the "bottom", I assume you mean it is leaking where the
hydraulic piston extends out of the jack. If I am correct, I had the
same problem on one of my jacks, and I just shipped it off the HWH
last week to have it rebuilt. Frank at HWH said it will be about
$250 to rebuild it, where as replacing with new is about twice that
much. The jack is easy to remove, just loosen the hydraulic line and
remove four bolts. Be mindful of supporting the jack as you remove
the bolts, though...it weighs about 65 lbs, and gravity will make
sure it crushes and bodily apendage when it breaks loose.

You may want to call Frank at HWH, 800-321-3494, he is very helpful.
I was able to replace my whole leveling pump with an updated unit
with his assistance, and I am ertainly no mechanic.

Good luck
