[QUOTE="hexah, post: 680027, member: 333852"] That is a very useful guide and a well done repair job. From my own experience I suggest people assume there will be some water in the box when they open it and open it very carefully. Once I got a cups worth of rusty water on my trousers, which was impossible to wash out. The jack still worked fine, I was just checking it after a long winter of bad weather. Also I suggest the use of a concertina type cover for the bare metal arm, or even a plastic bag with a condensation hole, secured with self-amalgamating tape. The rubber seal where the arm meets the casing soon splits through use or in the sun, and that is where the water and ice gets in. And we have enough water in this country - summer is coming and so are the clouds. [/QUOTE]
