- This is a quick tech episode showing you how I replaced the leaking O-Ring seal on my Halfords 3 ton Trolley jack, which is similar to the Sealey 3 tonne jack.
I need to repair this jack so I can use it to lift up my Audi A6 2.7T donor car, which I’m using for parts to build my own DIY Supercar.
If you want to know more about the Audi A6 or my prototype DIY Supercar, I have more details and video’s on my channel.

![MUST HAVE TOOL! How To Fix or Rebuild a Floor Jack [BOTTLE JACK]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/sk0FF6GFlqA/mqdefault.jpg)
just did mine and glad to see you made the same mistake i did. the plunger you removed to replace the seal is fitted backwards, the open slot points towards the front. on mine occationly when the handle is fully upright the plunger gets stuck and twisted. turned it around 180deg and it fixed the issue. worth checking yours. cheers
good to see a small fix rather than a full resto i have so many jacks that dont work,,,,, i really must fix some of them,,,
I don't know if it makes any difference but you put that plunger in backwards. At the beginning of you video the plunger opening is facing the front stationary wheels. At the end. The plunger opening is facing the back mobile wheels.
Enjoyed your slow and detailed delivery, plus your change of camera angles. I felt this was a man I could trust not to cut corners (especially when we, the viewer, could one day be reliant on such a Jack if we forget to use a proper axle stands).
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
I’d like to add that my Jack requires an o-ring with a 3.5mm cross section area. You used a 4mm, which is most probably why you had such a hard time fitting it, and replacing the plunger.
3.5 CS x 16mm I.D O-ring if you want to do a search
"Don't drink this, don't snort this" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 love it man!!! Thanks for making this video.
Thanks, :)
My Sealey 3 ton decided to leak at the same part after 19 years service. Good jacks.
Yes, they are pretty good, once the seal is replaced you'll get another 19 years. ;)
Bravo! 👏🏻
Was your wife upset that you used the tablecloth from the dining room??
It did add to the video quality I must say 👍🏻
LOL, shhh... she doesn't know, our little secret. ;)
That is the same problem with my jack. Looks simple to fix. Thanks for the video.
Glad to help. :)
Very good, informative and easy to follow video. Thanks
Thanks Steve. :)
Great video especially the disclaimer 😂😂😂
Thanks, yep had to be said. ;)
Awesome video, this looks exactly like my 30 year old clarke jack which has a similar problem, i ordered some 24mm seals i hope they fit :)
Thanks, good luck with your jack. ;)
This guy have sense of humour…👊
Thanks, :)
Having same issue with my old 3 ton Omega jack cheers good video
Thanks, glad you liked it. :)
Very good 👍
Great job mann..!!!!
Thanks, glad to help. :)
Great Video , My Jack is about 20 years old now and has just started to leak ! Where did you get your o rings from ? Thanks
Sorry didn't read below ! all ordered now
Good job!
Just what I needed thanks for your video
Glad I could help. ;)
Lube the o-ring first. Never force fit components that are designed to slide easily.
His o-ring is already drowning in oil.
Thank you
The disclaimer xD ... sad but it needs to be said 🤣🤣🤣
Yep ;)
did you notice you put the plunger in backwards? you removed it open end to te front, and replaced it open end to the rear.
Yes, too busy filming to notice, but it works either way round.
Thank you helpful
Glad to help. :)
I know this is now an old video but you can but all the parts and repair kits from CCW tools
Thanks
Nice video!!! and I love the disclaimer warning for Idiots!!!
sound cheers
Glad to help. ;)
if you had left the oil filler cap in loosely you would of seen the air coming out when you bled the jack.
Yes, true. Thanks for the tip. ;)
Looks like Sealey 3000CXD.
I have small leak from main piston. I found that they sell full seals kit (I'm just not sure which version I have)
I wonder if anyone replaced main piston seal(s) if there is anything to be aware of...
HI There. I have a sealed and a Halfords 3 ton jack.
Just wondering where did you buy the replacement oil rings or kit for the jack.
I think that is the most important part in ordering the oil rings or seals. As I am useless at that. Any help would be appreciated.
Both my Jack's are fairly new. But precautions is better than cure.
Thanks you.
Very nice and informative video.
Cheers
I've been trying to find the receipt, but no luck. I did order them on-line. I think the company was based in England. Sorry can't be more help, if the receipt turns up, I'll post a comment.
Typical I have just binned mine because the seals had gone I didn’t think they sold replacement parts for them I have just got a black jack
Yep, I've got a few other jacks with similar issues, I think I'm going to do the same to those as well. One thing I did notice, is the place that sold you the jack, doesn't sell you the seals, so you have to buy another jack.... sneaky.
I am sure it’s engineered that way for you to buy rather the buy the shares just for curiosity where did you get the seals
@@billywhizz98 Yeah I think you're right. I bought these from a company that just sells seals here in the UK. They have an eBay shop, totallyseals.
I have a sealey 1250cx jack v1. No visible leaks, pumps up ok and holds load. If you undo the release valve slighty it drops immediately and fast. Do you have any ideas on whats wrong?
Same as mine. Need that answer too !! Anyone ?
Check the spring and ball bearing. You could have a broken spring, damaged ball bearing or contaminant in the mechanism.
O wings
Hi can u help me I have same jack I order many not same size what size that one my Jack same 😂plz
I think it was 3mm thick, but I don't know the size.
Love the idiot disclaimer!
I seem to be the only person bothered by it, but I found an otherwise great, informative video ruined by the distracting and unnecessary music .
15 minutes that could of been done in 3😩
Is that why your wife left you?
@@dopiaza2006 I can’t stop laughing dopy
Bah ha ha!
Nice of you to talk about O rings for 56 hours but fail to tell us what oil you used.
That's not a 2 ton jack
@whitefox
Correct, it’s a 3 ton jack, it’s in the title & it says 3 TON on the jack!
made that look like hard work, 5 min job, stick to your day job
