I have a 3.5 ton craftsman floor jack that is almost 16 years old. About six months ago, it started not working and I put some more oil in it and it worked alright again. Lately it only will lift a load up to about 1/3 height it used to. I am wondering if this thing is even worth rebuilding? When I pump it up with no load it pumps up nice and high, but with a car under it, it will only lift up so high, which is getting very annoying as I use it frequently. Has anyone rebuilt these and do they reccomend doing so? I am thinking that there is a seal going bad as it just seems to not hold any weight anymore.
thx, Noah
