I am coming up on annual and will do it in my hangar. I would like to invest in a set of Jacks, but I hate to lay out $700+ from aircraft spruce. What kind of economy jacks have you bought or fabricated? I am a good fabricator/welder if anyone has any suggestions.

I have inherited a nice set of wing jacks, except they don't work. The donor tried to improve their performance years ago, but now has no idea how the parts go back into the base. So....give them to Gus. He'll accept all junk. This particular model is no longer supported by the vendor "The Jack House", though it looks identical to some of the jacks they now offer, it offered zero help. Can anyone take a look at the picture and tell me which ball bearings go in what order? Anyone know what # 'O' ring goes on the valve stem? The owner before me filled them with 5605 brake fluid. Did that ruin them? Is 5605 appreciably different from jack oil? Help most appreciated. If anyone has a diagram, that would be fantastic. My Google-foo hasn't turned up anything yet. Next up: For sale.....useless jack supports for non working wing jacks.
