or did I get high? 
I finally fixed two HF Al jacks that haven't worked for a few years.
On the US General jack, the main cylinder cap loosened. So I just tightened it and bled and now it works fine.
The other was a Pittsburgh with the dual pump cylinders. One of the cylinders was sticking and not pumping. I figured out how to get them apart, put new o-rings in them, added new oil, and now it's as good as new!
I now have 3.5 working jacks! 2 HF Al, 1 3-ton HF steel, and an old craftsman that the handle won't return on without help (broken spring).
No more lugging a big steel jack to track days now!
Sounds like you got a raise.
So you are telling us you finally got it up?
Well, getting that job done did lift my spirits a bit
Your story is uplifting, followed by a quick let down.
How many times do you have to pump to get it all the up?

Sometimes the old guys need a little help. 
If it stays up for over four hours, call your mechanic.
Posts like this always get a rise out of the board. Flightservice's posts do as well...
(This thread went exactly where I wanted it to, please continue)
It is much easier lifting the aluminum jacks off the work bench than getting the steel jack off. 25 lbs vs. 50+lbs make the effort to fix them worth it.
This thread is uplifting. Nothing like pumping your pole watching it rise.
3.5 working jacks, that's half a jack off.
So why are you short stroking the last jack ?

..because aluminum jacks be nimble, so you can get it up quick....
If your uncle Jack was stuck on the roof, would you help your uncle....err....nevermind
