HWH jack wont retract

[birdshill123]

The left front jack on my 88 FC wont fully retract. The piston returns
all the way but the knee action does not go to horizontal. I lubed all
the pivot points. Still wont return to horizontal. HWH trouble shooting
chart suggests the actuator may be at fault. I can get the jack to
retract by manually pushing it up to horizontal. I examined the
actuator rod and it does not appear bent or scored. It is stiff. Can
these be rebuilt or is it just better to get a new one? HWH web site
shows that actuator to be $150.00 OUCH ! I read where John Finn had
his whole system rebuilt for about $900 plus at the HWH factory. Almost
makes me want to do the whole works.
