My advice is to buy new, these things are a safety item and if they fail you
may well get hurt.
You can pull the old one apart to see if they are serviceable but for peace
of mind I'd replace it.

Subject: [MBZ] Jack Repair
I have an 20-year-old Allied (made in Taiwan) floor jack but it "leaks
down"
while jacking, even with the valve closed. I suspect that hydraulic fluid
is leaking past the o-ring seal on the main piston. Otherwise, it is a
nice
heavy-duty 2-ton unit with a pretty high lift capability; although it is
heavy.
Question: Should I try to repair this or just replace it? If repair,
what
are likely sources for replacement seals?
