Hi, I have opened the screw bleed value too far on my RR P38 bottle jack and squirted hydro fluid onto floor. Replaced screw, removed bung topped up to level, but cannot get pump to bleed or extend again, what am I doing wrong please?
 
undo the valve (not all the way this time) and pump 20 times at least.

this will purge out any air in the system.

then tighten the screw and pump to test. :)
 
Ball bearing??? Where should this be? Could it have shot out with fluid and screw?

Pity your not in the UK...the company I work for has one of the largest Jack testing fixtures in Europe and the largest in the UK....

Thanks for all your help guys, due to my wifes miss spent youth one of the ends of her old belly bar was a perfect fit, jack back to normal, of course followed by "told you I should keep them!"
