Replacement fluid for corba hydraulic jack???
On Tuesday, April 19, 2016 at 9:27:38 AM UTC-7, wrote:
I lower the wheel, and lower the jack until the wheel just touches the ground, then hold that jack position. There is then no further down pressure on the jack. The fuselage weight is supported by the main wheel, but the fuselage is still snug in the cradle, which keeps the fuselage upright as the wings are attached. Saw a cheap fix in photographs on the ASW27 newsgroup, posted by Gregg Leslie. Tractor Supply, Home Depot etc have a floor jack for $40 that has the same cheap Chinese hydraulic ram. Just removed the ram from one, the part is still the same. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Big-Red-2...2-BR/100595182 Remove that part from the jack, drain the hydraulic fluid, clean it out, add new fluid and swap parts out with the one from the trailer.
