Hello,
I think I've damaged my trolley jack
I have a Clarke CTJ2Q, amongst other jacks, it was working fine till up till a week ago where, for some reason it was starting to require too many pumps to get it to lift, where as before, without any load it would only take three pumps to get it to it's max lifting height. I thought there might air trapped in there, so purged it, nothing. I then took the release screw out, all the way and found a ball bearing floating towards the top, topped up with some brake fluid and put it back together, still same issues.
Anyone got any ideas what's wrong with it? I can replace the bottle, the body is in reasonably good nick, bar the time I threw when I got p****d off, once
Is there a way of repairing it, or just buy a new hydraulic pump?
