'Twas a joke, Bob, and it came up in my google search.


Oops, apologies for being so thick...At one time a thing called
"The Urban Dictionary" was a useful guide to language too modern
to be found in traditional dictionaries.

In any case, it looks as if I'm stuck on a problem more basic.

For reasons unclear, the two major fasteners on the jack
are tight beyond my ability to move them (and any obvious reason).
They're items 4 and 34 on the first figure in
http://www.zefox.net/~bp/model_k_breakdown.pdf

I managed to bolt the unit body (item 12) to the hitch mount
on my Scout and put a pipe wench on item 4 with a 4 foot cheater
and all my 140 pounds, plus a hammer. It didn't yield.

Item 34 is more delicate, so I made a spanner out of black iron
pipe,
but that bent before the packing box turned. As others have noted,
pipe
is soft, so maybe something from a grade 8 nut has a better chance.

I'm planning to visit Valley Hydraulics in Woodland unless the
Jack-X-Change supplies some useful tech support to go with the seal
kit.

Thanks for reading,

Suggesting solutions would be easier if we knew what machine tools you
have available.
