NSFW floor jack is broke, someone help NSFW
 

i'll post some porn later, too many people in the living room right now.

ok so my floor jack was leaking oil the other day and i realized the handle was screwed too loose (to lower the jack)
i screwed it in a few turns.
so yesterday i'm trying to jack up my moms car and the thing won't lift much. each pump of the handle only pumps the last few inches of stroke. it only moves the car about half an inch each pump of the handle.

i'm sure it would be fine if i could add some oil to it, but i don't know what kind of oil and i don't know where to add it.
there are 3 holes that are plugged that say "do not adjust"
i have had this jack for the last 8 years and i really don't want to buy a new one now.

anyone know how to fix this pos?

There should be a zerk fitting on it so you can lube it up.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

it uses plain old hydraulic fluid but let me tell you ive had 2 of those michelin jacks, they rock when they work but when it starts doing what yours is its all over. throw it out and buy a new one. trust me i spent an hour trying to get it to work again. they are pretty cheap, last time i bought one they were 59.99 but that was a while ago and i havent seen any since then.

look were all the dirt is on top of the ram, there is a small rubber plug painted blue, pop it out and fill it with hydrolic oil or atf.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

+1 any petrol thin fluid should work in a pinch. motor oil currently has filled my floorjack for 3 years :6

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

motor oil if thats all ya gots itll get it done

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

lol. you got your money's worth.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

yeah no ----. i think it was $55 when i bought it.
i liked it cause it lifted higher than the other floor jacks at vatozone and kragen. oh and it was cheaper.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

haha awesome i got both mine at sams club too. they dont have them anymor thoiugh

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

yeah i went about 2 years ago to buy another one just cause you could always use another jack, but they didn't have them.
i can't find them online either.
i'll try my luck with a harbor freight one next.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

get one that has the fast action lift, it will go from ground to like 9 inches in one pump, then goes slower as the weight picks up.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

Make shure you fill it when its all the way down, or you'll spill fluid everywere.

atf FTMFW
so i fill it up and go jack up my car. works great, let the car down, walk in my garage and i hear a loud pop.
i look out side and there is atf about 30 feet in the air just raining down.
i guess i over filled it...
lost the little blue plug, but i stole one off one of my shitty floor jacks.
jacked up my car again and let it down. works better than it did new.
now i gotta find a plug for my ---- jack.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

did you fill the jack with it ALL THE WAY down? i did that once :y

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

well i filled it and jacked it up a little and filled it some more and jacked it up a little and filled it some more and...
i figured if i put too much in it's just gonna come back out anyway so who cares.
man that ---- flew.

i found the blue plug, it was about 75 feet away by my other car. i was not even looking for it, i went to 7-11 and when i was getting in the car i saw it on the ground.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

That's why I said fill it with the jack down. Nog

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

Yeah both of my jacks broke about a 2 years ago. One was just a WalMart one, but the other was a good one from sears we had as long as I can remember. Been lifting up the cars with the OEM jacks to change oil/tires. That ---- gets OLD. Got a new one for Christmas. I prefer the ramps I have though. Just couldn't use them with any of my other cars they were so low. Glad the EK it sitting at full ride hight for now.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

well it only took a few drops of oil with it down. i know how much leaked out cause i had a good size puddle under the jack when it leaked. it was maybe 1/4 pint that leaked. when i jacked it up it sucked in more fluid so i figured it was working.
i knew i put too much in cause i used about half a quart... i just figured it would leak out not shoot out and kill someone.
i'm glad it didn't blow when i was near it.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

good fix. Just be glad that plug fitting didn't bust out a window in ur other car

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

dude that ---- shot about 75 feet away. i'm not kidding when i say atf was at least 30 feet in the air.
i am very lucky that i was not near that thing when it blew.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

I need to add oil to my floor jack everytime I want to use it. its about 20 years old and my dad bought it at some liquidator store for like $15. So dont be a bitch, lol.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

like i said in my post that got deleted for some reason
i'm not bitching, even if i had to buy a new one i never bitched.
i asked how to fix it and then fixed it.

Re: floor jack is broke, someone help
 

im glad you worked everything out, now....
