Tips On HWH Jack Removal & Installation

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Eric:

Replace the springs only after the jack is installed back on the Coach. It
is way easier and less weight when stabbing bolts into the plate. I have
gone both ways on several occasions and the safest is after install.

Safe travels,
