Got an issue with the tongue jack on the TT.
It is manual and has always been fairly easy to crank up and down, even with my 800 and something pound tongue weight.
Middle of a 3 week trip at several destinations in Saskatchewan, the past couple times I set up and hitched up the jack gets to a certain point then becomes really hard to crank, even when cranking down on to the hitch. Once I get a few turns into it, it becomes easy again. At the hardest point it feels close to breaking something when I reef on it to turn the thing.
It's the type with the crank vertical, as opposed to horizontal on top.
I pulled the little cover off the top to see if there was any way to get some lube down the shaft, but all I can do is grease the gears there. No effect on anything below.
Is there any way to lube the inside of this thing?
Maybe I need to get a new jack....
