Who has rebuilt a floor jack?

My buddy gave me this older floor jack that is mid-grade quality, but it wouldn't pump up when you try and lift any amount of weight. It was full of fluid, so I am thinking it is the seals.
The internal ones are gonna be extremely hard to get out, and the ones on the bolts, etc are hard and gritty. Should I replace them all, or just do half?

just go to Harbor Freight and buy a new one.

I don't see the risk vs reward being in your favor to rebuild it.

Needs to be said at least once in this thread: Never trust a floor jack and put any part of your body underneath a car that isn't on jack stands.

Never ever rebuild stuff like that. Throw it away unless you intend to only use it for a press.

Don't try it. Not worth it. Buy new. Used to run a place that did this kind of stuff and generally it's just not worth it on those unless they are high end professional stuff.
