I've had a few jack "issues". I had my front jacks lowered and then dumped the air. NEVER do that! The MoHo rolled and sheared off all eight bolts and the entire front assembly holding the two jacks fell on the ground. It made a noise like a gun shot when it happened. BUT, it didn't bend the shafts.
I also had a spring fall off one of my rear jacks (a long story) so it wouldn't fully retract (I could drive but the dang warning buzzer was on the entire time for the two hour drive home). So, to raise the jack enough to put the spring back on, I inflated the air bags, put a stack of boards under the jack and then dumped the air. It raised the jack about two inches, so I inflated the air bags again, slipped in another board, and repeated until the jack was fully raised. Then I used a crowbar to get the spring back on. Hope that helps.
