Greasing Jack Screw - Atwood 3200
I've had my power tongue jack for a couple years and figured it was time to grease things. The directions are pretty straightforward and there are basically two parts. First, remove the small Phillips head screws from the top to expose the gears. This was easy enough and went fine.
The second part is to undo the 4 Allen bolts from under the motor area and "lift" the motor off. Well, the bolts come out just fine but there is no "lifting" to be had. That thing isn't going anywhere. It swivels and you can hear it turning the motor but it doesn't separate. I put the screws in several times and moved the motor just in case I was hung up but each time was the same. From the feel of it there's something else that needs to be done to release the jack screw for lubing and inspection.
Has anyone else been down this road before?
