I've searched the threads and not found an answer to this. If I just missed it I apologize.
I went to change a tire with my hi lift jack and I raised the fj just fine but when I was done I flipped the lever to lower position and pumped the handle but the jack wouldn't lower. The pins wouldn't move much as I moved the handle down and back up fully. I switched the lever back to the up position and the jack continued to raise just fine. Finally I set the lever to lower and pumped the handle but nothing.
It's been a long time since i'd used the jack and I have it mounted on my roof rack uncovered. Does it just need to be lubricated, could it be user error or is there a bigger issue here?
Any constructive thoughts are appreciated.
