Anyone know where I can get a hydraulic car floor jack rebuilt (seals) in Tacoma area? Thanks

Hi Whitney

Tear that thing apart and take the seals to Williams Oil Filter Service on Puyallup Ave. If they don't have the replacement seals, they ain't available nowhere.
Did you get your lawn mowed?

My floor jack was leaking yesterday. I took a look at the way it's built, and their is no removable seal on mine. The "seal" was the tightly machined pump plunger. As this "seal" is now leaking, I'd have to get a new plunger machined to fit the wear of the plunger hole.

I just went down and purchased a new, aluminum floor jack that came with a low-belly creeper and aluminum jackstands. $179.

Whitney,
Jim is right if Williams doesn"t have it you cant find them any where else, also Williams has all the An fittings for alot less than anny where else. Jim was there not a place just off center st. that rebuilds jacks, etc.

My 20 year old Walker/Lincoln floor jack was leaking down. After not being able to find somebody to rebuild it for a price less than a new jack, I went a different route. I changed the oil in it with some jack oil that I found at Advance Auto Parts. This new oil had some sort of stop leak/seal conditioner in it. It did not solve my problem at first, but after 4 days, my jack worked good as new & has been for the last year. Cost was about 5 bucks.

I did some checking. Apparently the jack (NAPA) I got was a Walker/Lincoln. Universal in Seattle were the only ones I could find who still rebuild cylinders and they start at $200. The search goes on and eventually I will pull it apart; make a big mess; and have a bunch of jack parts available.
