how can I get this write up?
As said in another post, the only way to get a "write up" is to printout this post. Happijac supplies a limited amount of (and somewhat misleading) lubrication instruction (the screw cannot be lubricated unless the jack leg is disassembled). They do not provide any detailed information about how to take a jack apart, nor do they provide parts lists or assembly diagrams. If you have troubles with a jack, they recommend that you send the jack back to them for maintenance. I forgotten the exact cost but it's not much... around $50 / jack if I recall. But, you also have to pay the shipping cost and it's fairly high.
Because these jacks are such a critical part of owning a TC, I made the decision to dig into the jacks and figure out how they work myself. They are not terribly complicated, but they do require some level of mechanical skills to work on the jacks. Failure to disassemble, lubricate and reassemble them correctly could lead to jack failure.
