MaSnaka .... I guess I was not completely clear .... sorry . I also use jack stands , but what I should have said/mentioned , is that I have seen seals blow out as a cylinder ( jack ) is being raised ( pressurized ) and then it comes down !!! Agreed that the failure rate is very low , but I don`t want to be that individual .... and the "older" jacks are generally well worth rebuilding , so good luck .
As we are now finding out , welcome to the wonderful world of Sears Customer " no service "
