Hey Steve. He had two of the short ones. Those are the ones that actually belong on the coach. The previous owner must have got a deal or really needed the jack in stock to put that one on the coach....

Thanks ricwally for the tip but I've tried WD-40, silicone, vaseline, liquid wrench and I've even tried washing them with soap and water over the past year. The jacks are nearly 10 years old and must...

No, that price was for 2 new jacks with the exchange of my current ones. He said HWH could not offer to rebuild the ones I currently have. I didn't really understand why. I think I'll call Joe back...

Heard back from Joe at HWH. Will be $228 + shipping for 2 new jacks if I mail them my old ones. That's $500 and some change. That is nuts for just 2 jacks. Plus it will be 8+ weeks before they would...

I did try that. The jacks would not budge at all. I think the seals are just worn or twisted keeping the jack from retracting freely. I plan to call HWH and my local hydraulic company (Carolina...

I'm not sure. Must have been running a good special on the 22" barrels is all I can figure. That's crazy.

Here is a picture of the front jacks. The previous owner must have replaced the left front jack at some point since it's 6 inches longer than the original jack. 4710

I haven't removed the solenoids just the jacks and springs themselves. You asked me about does it require a ton of force to get the jack to retract. How in the world do I test that out with this jack...
