my trusty old floorjack no longer lifts as high as once it did, also when it reaches the top of its stroke, it rises a bit then falls back some 3mm or so.
2) do i drain the old?
thanks Dieter
I bought a pint size bottle of hydraulic oil 10 years ago. I still have half of it left. You might have to hunt around for it but it's available.
When my jack loses pressure, I usually find it's a low oil issue. You might want to consider that before you tear it apart.

You can buy hydraulic jack oil at your FLAPS. It's possible that the ONLY problem is that it just needs its oil level topped up.
Yes, you will have to to get everything apart.
There's usually a port on the side somewhere. Depends on what style of jack you're talking about.
