Re: [DIY] Rock Salt and Car Jack

hey don't let it get you down we all sometime don't know how good we had it till it's gone.the rock salt can still be used however now that it has sucked up moisture it will have to be manually broken up to use it. as far as the jack most have a rubber plug like halfway up the side of the shell. with the jack all the way bottomed out pry out the rubber plug.with like a turkey baster slowly put jack oil in the hole till it weeps out the hole no it is full.if it does not still work it is a pump problem hope this helps

Subject: [DIY] Rock Salt and Car Jack

Two questions - While cleaning the garage I came across an uncovered plastic bucket that had rock salt in it, the kind for using on sidewalks for ice. When I poured it into a better container that had a cover I saw that the bottom of the container was wet. So of course was the bottom of the salt that just came out of it. Can it be used this winter? Do I need to do anything to it to get it dry? Lay it out in the sun while it's not too humid here?

2 ton hydraulic floor jack. It doesn't pump up with the little rod that you pump. Can refilling the fluid make it work again? I wish I would have listened to my husband while he was still around better than I did. I think I remember him doing something like this long ago, probably to another jack. I think I'm better off than many widows in that I know lots about what all this garage stuff does but I'm stumped on this stuff. If the jack is fixable I could give it away. If not it will go in the trash.

Thanks,

Nancy
