I have had a Sears jack for several years. This year the jack doesn't start lifting until the handle is about half way down. I don't see any fluid leakage. Any ideas why it is getting mushy?

 

I have the Sears Red Jack. I ended up reading the manual and it said to check the fluid level. I also never had any leaks. What I really needed to do was to bleed the air out of the jack. If you have moved the jack (lifted it, so it was not horizontal or tiped it) you most likely need to bleed the air out of it. It worked for me.

Thanks, Mark

 

Have had yellow jack since '08 and haven't had any problems so far. Use it to store bike all winter long up off floor about a foot or so. No leaks or issues jacking. Will keep an eye on it in future.

 

Half way expected the die hard' mega bucks' bike lift peep's to chime in.......must be out ridding

 

Lol!!!

 

You owners of the Sears yellow jack, are you happy with it? Is it sturdy enough in your opinion? And does it get the bike high enough to make cleaning the wheels comfortable?

Thank You-

I've used the Sears yellow jack for two years. I like it a lot. It's low enough to get under my lowered bike (most won't). There is a little movement when the bike is on the lift but nothing major. I use the jack about once a week to clean my bike and it works great. It gets the bike high enough to make cleaning the wheels much easier. I sit on a roll around seat and the bike is high enough to be comfortable while cleaning.

I would recommend it. For the money its a great lift.

 

Yes i'am happy with it!!

 

Works for me. No regrets.
