Hi everyone,

I am back, with new problem. Hope everyone doesn't get sick of me yet.
I attempted several times and gave up on the idea of removing that big bolt, then I decided to bleed/refill the fluid/oil because I feel that the jack seem to be somehow weaker than before.
On first day, I could only remove 1 of the 3 screw caps to refill. Still feel that is is weak, and I also feel that the first 1/4 or 1/5 of the stroke doesn't raise the jack at all. Second day, I could be able to remove all 3 caps and pumped a lot of oil out. Refilled and pumped, tighten the caps, refilled and pumped and repeat. Result is that the jack doesn't hold it's position after each stroke. I redo again and again many times, same problem is still there. Does anyone experienced this and had a solution?
Thanks in advance.

PS: This is the second jack I run into this problem. The first time was on another jack, many years ago.
