Cost to Repair/Replace Power Gear Jack

Took mine off,I think 6 or 8 bolts and hydro line. went to a hydraulic repair shop and they repaired (new seals) while I waited for 150.00. Reinstalled and is good as new. Not a major job at all.

Funny how some people can do that and some people would cancel all trips for a year because of it. :B

I need to replace one of jacks (Pretzled it, no possibility of a rebuild)

Turns out the job may involve dropping the blanged gas tank Yup, they put the bolts in just exactly the wrong place.

Good point. I'll try my usual repair guy first - he's been very good to me - and take it from there.

Most RV shops won't repair, instead they'll charge you $1500 for one new one.

Find a hydraulic repair shop and ask them about rebuilding. It's just a hydraulic cylinder, how many times are those rebuilt on construction and farm equipment? We had all 4 rebuilt. They hydraulic shop wouldn't remove and re-install, so we had another mechanic do that. Total I think was under $800.

Found seal replacement kits on-line for from $50 to $130. Don't know which jack I have - will check it out when it gets light outside. So it looks like I'm facing that amount plus the labor.
