I have a pneumatic J & S Jack that is stuck at full height. Although I only used my compressor once to lift the bike when it was new. Just too easy to jack it up by foot. Both stops are in their appropriate highest slots. I raised it up without issue but when I went to let if down the jack would not raise at all. I have had a few issues in the past where it took some extra pumps to get it to raise at first then worked fine.
In the first pic I am assuming the center allen head screw is the release valve. Is this correct? Not typical of the release valves on a non pneumatic bottle jack I have seen anyways. I need to lower the ram to remove the jack and either bleed or replace.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Didn't know the bike was on it..Have some help there when you do anything. This could have the makings of some bad ju ju with the bike on it, unless you get the Jack raised.
Thanks for the reply's. What I am trying ask is if the allen screw in the picture is the release valve. As mentioned above the jack does not have the typical T type connection. Correct me if I am wrong but if the allen screw is the release valve I can open it and theoretically I should be able to lower the ram and remove the jack. The bike is stable with the stops locked in their slots. Its not going anywhere.
