HWH leveling jacks

[krminyl@...]

Hi Phil,

Curt and I both fixed our leaking front jacks in the last 6 months or so.
With ours, the leak was coming from the little hydraulic piston that is used
to "kick down" the front jacks. It's a bitch to fix, because you really need
three hands to put it back together. But, hey, we fixed ours...be careful
when you take the unit apart...there are a few little springs, valving pins,
etc, that can get lost in that puddle of Dextron III you will have under the
jack when you take it apart.

HWH took my old leaking unit (the kick down unit), and replaced it with a
new one, and gave me back 50% the cost of a new one (it cost me about $75). No
leaks since.

Curt, chime in if you have some other comments and advice to Phil. Also,
Phil, tell Christina that my wife Pam is already on her 4th "Poodle Book" by
the author she recommended. Tell her thanks.

Good luck on the repair....I hope it's just the kick down piston....
