I have a Merc Sprinter Jack but its running out of puff before it gets to a sufficient height to remove wheels - it was OK. I've ordered some Hydraulic Jack Oil to bleed it and the top it up but I just realised I don't know how to do it - can anyone help? Geoff

There's several clips on YouTube for bottle jacks in general. I don't know if any of them will be relevant.

Cheers mate, I had a look you are right. If it confirms to "the norm" I should be OK, I've ordered the Hydraulic Oil so will give it a try next week. Geoff

I broke mine...... don’t ask.

It went in the skip, got to order another. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I broke mine too put a kink in it and it leaked fluid

Second trailer puncture of the trip, so I jacked up my trailer (still attached to the car) removed the wheel and got distracted, before driving off to get a replacement tyre - so yes - the trailer was still attached - fortunately twin axle, so disaster avoided, but it cost me a jack

I removed the top cradle to fit a jacking adaptor and accidentally pushed the piston back too far, after that I couldn’t get it back together satisfactorily so it wen tin the bin...... new one on its way from the bay. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

Why on earth are you jacking up a twin axle trailer ???? Far far simpler, quicker and safer

You can even make one out of a block of wood or just drive up a car ramp or even a kerb  2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17

Easy job but it still leaks fluid, I needed the jack to rotate the tyres because the front nearside had taken a bit of a hammering - roundabouts I think, job now done. However I still have the issue of tyre pressures I’ve got 22” wheels on an L322 I went with 33 front and 36 rear as suggested for L405, seems OK anyone have a different setup.? Geoff

use the spare when rotating the wheels.. ... - .- -.

I've only got 4, spare doesn't match  Geoff

I saw one of those, but seemed quite expensive and bulky for something I thought I didn't really need

Whenever my trailer isn't in use, I jack it up and replace all 4 wheels with stands - so I'm kind of programmed to just jack it up.

Mine still has the 'ears' on it, so relatively safe to jack a trailer axle as long as you don't drive off with it jacked up

spare doesnt have to match Geoff...

for instance, take near side front off, replace temporally with spare then stick nsf where ever you need it.. ... - .- -.
