perfect video, no mindless talk, only explicit visual explanation, and I'm going to give my bottle jack a try at restoring it. Bought an 8 ton for 8$. It has no oil and I have nothing to lose, but some time. Thank you for taking the time to explain the process so clearly.

Tip: you can replace hydraulic oil using mineral or synthetic 15w40 ! They have the same specifications and are less aggressive on the seals. I'm an engineer in hydraulics and we often replace hydraulic oil with 15w40 because it is less harmful to nature.

well -- depending on how much one is used - hydro oil has much more antishear and antifoaming agents - and would flow much easier it is said - and why would not a good 30 weight oil be as good if using oil - - a small pump does not need a flow rate additive - nor does it need a more expensive oil - if lazy people would change the oil more often - they could use anything - diesel fuel will even work - if it had additives - it could last forever - just a thought - they were selling replacement oil at harbor freight for a dollar - now Im sure it is 2 dollars -- ahahahahaha - i have a lot of old jacks - 50 tons even - did not know hydro oil was worse than the others for nature - must be some of the additives - cause oil is oil - and most studies on syns have not had enough studies - only that they last longer so they are better - we use less over time - oil company's are the only ones really doing the studies - and they are of course all LIARS -- ahahahaha --- paying trillions to cover up their facts and mistakes - even plastics - beings they are made from petroleum are said to cause cancer - hemp is said to be the best oil on the market - and with additives - they too can last years even --- the oil company's have paid tons to keep it off the market - even though it causes no harm to the environment --- but anyway -- ahahahahaha

@@user-du7pe6pm7d foaming is not an issue as hydraulic tanks are pressurized before feeding the hydraulic pumps, antishear also isn't an issue especially with synthetic oil because hydraulic pumps use butterfly valves to generate pressure and they are made from brass, hydraulic cylinders use seals they never touch metal to metal. We actually found that replacing hydraulic oil with 15w40 was much softer on the insides of the hydraulic hoses, they often started to peel from the inside as the hydraulic oil was eating them away. Nonetheless we switched to Castrol biobar duo environmental rules in many countries (I do maintenance for marine excavators the BA1100 in particular but also a liebherr 995 and the liebherr 994 is now replaced with an Hitachi)

Never thought of the up side down vise trick , that’s what I call “ thinking out of the box “ .

Great video with full detail. Thank you. What I'd like to know is where can someone get a O-ring kit for bottle jacks?

Just done this to my motorcycle lift jack. The piston rod had rusted and rust had got in and polluted the oil. I thought the seal might be gone, but once cleaned and refilled with new hydraulic oil it was fine. Wish I'd watched your video first!

Great job. Might try this out on one of my old jacks. Thanks for sharing.

I have at 15-20 hydraulic jacks that need that done to them. Good information. Thank you

if you go to a hard ware store make sure you buy the correct o rings they make metric and standard and don't over fill the oil great video

Well done, it was as if I was watching myself rebuild it; I have never done it and have one waiting out in the shop. Thank you.

Had one of the best oldest hydraulic bottle jacks probably there ever was & I can't begin to count the number big Tractor tired & truck tires it lifted After I know 35 yrs probably it started leaking around the seal very little paint was left on it & at the time I just wanted to go buy a new one for my Dad & we turned nthe old one into a door stop After a half dozen uses of the new bottle jack I regretted ever buying it but Computers were just getting started & I didn't know about researching for parts then .

Interesting. Our late 60's vintage Sears Craftsman 1.5T floor jack (Made in Japan) has a thick rubber bushing near the base of the main shaft. It got destroyed years ago when my dad loaned the floor jack to a neighbor who tried to lift one side of his Kenworth tractor trailer. About ten years ago I managed to find a seller in Belmont Shores , CA who sold repair kits for various types of hydraulic jacks. I guess the moral of my story is, if you treasure your tools and equipment, don't loan them out because people won't respect them and destroy them, or they will and try to keep them.

Great job. ASE Master Technician retired.

If a hydraulic jack will work without without oil in it will more than likely work with oil in it. 99.9% of people would have just filled it with oil and gotten it to operate and been fine with a little seepage here and there. If I find a hydraulic Jack like this that will still operate I usually drain all the oil out and replace it with ATF and about a tbl spoon of Sea Foam and Marvel Mystery Oil. Usually any leaks that exist go away shortly after several uses. It was interesting to see how it comes apart but I couldn't imagine you could find the seals for even if it needed them.

To fill it correctly, the jack should be standing upright, and fill oil up until it trickles out of the fill hole. After pumping it right the way up then releasing it all the way down, vent the air from the fill plug with the jack in the upright position, then top up to fill hole again. The way you filled it could be over or underfilled. Since you had the jack laying downhill when you showed venting the air, any air bubbles would've still been stuck at the bottom end of the jack with no way to get up to the fill plug🤣
