![MUST HAVE TOOL! How To Fix or Rebuild a Floor Jack [BOTTLE JACK]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sk0FF6GFlqA/mqdefault.jpg)
KIt from Summit racing has the same size piston piston seal size was 30mmx26mm..the Jaco kit does some of the newer jacks. I recommend you take apart your jack first and measure your seal size.
Thanks I searched for literally 2 1/2 hours until I found your video. Those rip-off people selling those o rings for $70 should develop

For those who say buy a new jack are missing the point. The reason we have tools is to fix things. Our time invested is to learn & the satisfaction of doing it ourselves. If you are just going to by a new everything when something breaks without trying to repair it, then why do you have tools?
Similar to my old jack that lucky me still works. Good information on finding a seal kit. Those new HF long reach low profile jacks are calling my name.
yea I got one of those too. but this one is great as a second jack. I have 3 but the oldest one is not a rapid pump. I wanted 2 rapid pumps.
I have the long reach 3 ton, in addition to several others from HF. The long reach (my favorite) is doing the droop now. I hope I can fix it!
perfect timing i need to rebuild my 30 year old Rodac jack
yea pull it apart and measure the cylinder and the piston. then start looking for the correct parts. Many on evilbay. some on that other guys website. if your lucky the sizes are the same as mine or the guy on ebay has the piston sizes all in metric measurements.
@@Mikefngarage Thanks
very good job on that, when you,re not in a hurry,you can measure the cylinder and the piston then go to an hydraulic seal supplier and find a polyurethane seal that can be fitted there, possibly that you'll have to modify the piston a bit but the quality gain worth the effort.
Thanks Mike! I’ll be repairing my original Allied jack from the 80’s now….
Mike!! You have once again given me what I need!!
thanks for your comments and likes. There are a few videos but none on these old jacks using that kit.
Good job buddy!
Thanks!
Thank you.
I got my jack at Costco, they exchanged it 5 years later.
Great video.
You know your a mechanic when you have an impact that will fit your socket.
just rebuilt mine and used just standard o-rings from a kit. took me about 20minutes. have it lifting a car rn and it is still holding no problem. mine wasn't dropping down but was leaking fluid and then after awhile it would be hard to jack it up (air in system) 3 ton 2 pump just like this one... thanks for video!
i also just used air hammer chissel (marred it up but better than buying a socket to fit that big thing) and it came loose / was able to tighten it). Went about it a different way as well in terms of taking it apart, but whatever works for you just get to it!
nevermind it leaks lol. the oring supported seal needs redone
check the size of the piston and measure like I said if it is the same check out summit racing link. Much cheaper than the other options. oring supported seal is easy to change
@@Mikefngarage yeah i took the jack all apart and thought i'd be cool and just use regular o-rings i had laying aroudn my garage. well they leak like crazy haha. I'll be stopping by a hydraulic shop to see if they have the oring supported seal as I can't find those online (like I know it must just be a common size piston). Do you know them by some other name maybe?
I need to rebuild my dad's old Harbor Freight jack and for the same reason. Good to know just what the culprit is and how to measure it to get a new one 👍
takes less than an hour
Doing the same thing in my dad's jack he passed 3 years ago and remember using that same jack as a teen with my first truck and car, lots of memories with my dad working on vehicles.
I can tell you the 3ton rating BS. I just blew mine out picking up one corner of a 7,000 lift. Now it wont pump up. 🙄 Thanks for posting this, might look at throwing a kit at it.
yea pull it apart just to make sure the sizes are the same. Summit racing has the kits pretty cheap. worth fixing. vs over 100 now for a jack like this one.
@@Mikefngarage thanks Mike. I noticed one of the twin pistons on mine is stuck down.😖
Thanks for your information video. I've thrown away Jack's that just needed a new seal. Would have to wing it for the huge socket. Maybe a monkey wrench or channel- locks could substitute.
yea pipe wrench. Literally took me less than an hour filming it. no camera like 30 minutes would be an over statement.
Thank you for your content! Where can I find U-Joint part for the Harbor Freight 3 Ton 64260 model? It seems as if I can't find this part and Harbor Freight no longer sells the part.
I’m guessing that some of those other smaller seals in the kit would be for the 2 pump cylinders? I have one of these 3T jacks that I either got from HF or AZ. Too hard to tell once the labels get banged up and fall off.
Anyhow, I’ve got a very small leak coming from one of the 2 push cylinders. It’s either coming from there or it is running down the jack from somewhere else and just pooling at the push cylinders.
I’m sure I’ll find it when I clean it and tear it down, but if I’m going to get in there then I’d probably just replace all of the seals. If those seal kits have everything in there, that would be perfect.
Both kits looked like they could possibly have everything for a complete rebuild, but I wonder if messing around in there trying to replace them all of the seals may cause more problems down the road. As in, if it isn’t broke don’t fix it.
Nice to know Im a real mechanic , I have that socket hahahah
mans socket ha ha. I have that other cp3 video coming up tomorrow.
lol.. ya no shit.👍
Hey Mike ? are you getting some practice before the bucket rebuild ?
Mi jack model is 64260 idk is that rebuild kit below fit my jack i change the o ring but is still the same is not lifting up well
$59? wow that would be $350 over here :(
yea I bet it would pay to rebuild a jack over there. Just like Canada tools are expensive up there too. Too much government control over what comes in or out of Canada.
Boy I'll tell you what, that boy's out there jacking in the shed again Peggy!!
$25 in parts, $15 for a special +1" socket, 1-to-2 hrs of your time, new fluid... go buy a new jack.
I have to agree. I'm just not going to take a chance on a jack that wasn't all that expensive in the beginning. I'll throw it out and buy a new one. I'm not going to take a chance with my life/health on such an important tool.
actually if someone watched the video total 22 in parts and less than an hour. Took me a bit longer because I was filming it and had to figure it out. someone else could watch this and be done in like 1/2 hour. to 45 minutes
also if you figure your time and fuel cost going to the store it would take longer to drive to the store and back than ordering the parts online and fixing the old jack.
@@Mikefngarage why can't I order the jack online as well??
Some people are cynics(or just plain lazy) !
